Hot Sale Personalised Old Map Of Newham [limited Qty] [vAujo6CR]

Step back in time and rediscover your connection to the Borough of Newham with a personalised old map, crafted just for you. Whether you grew up in the area, recently moved there, or wish to give a truly meaningful gift, this bespoke map offers a window into Newham’s remarkable transformation. Perfect for housewarmings, birthdays, or commemorating family heritage, it’s a unique way to celebrate your personal story intertwined with the heart of East London. Let your memories take pride of place with a map that beautifully blends nostalgia and artistry.

Your map will reveal the streets and landscapes that now form the bustling Borough of Newham. You’ll see the area encompassing the historic Royal Victoria Dock, the green expanse of West Ham Park, and the original site of Stratford Market. The neighbourhoods surrounding Plaistow and the riverbanks near Bow Creek all appear as they were decades ago, offering an intriguing glimpse of Newham before the rise of landmarks like the ExCeL Centre and Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park.

Every map is entirely personalisable to make it truly yours. You can centre the map on your own home, the house where a loved one grew up, or any special location within Newham. Mark places of significance—perhaps your childhood school, a wedding venue, or a favourite pub. There’s also the option to add a dedication or thoughtful message in the margin, and you may re-title the map or pick a subtitle that reflects your family’s story or an inside joke. Each map is hand-crafted to your exact specifications, ensuring no two are ever the same.

Each frame is expertly assembled to both protect and showcase your map, making it a stunning centrepiece for any room.

These maps are created from original Ordnance Survey sheets covering Newham from the late Victorian era through to the 1960s. The Ordnance Survey’s meticulous surveyors documented every road, building, and field boundary with unrivalled accuracy and charm, producing maps celebrated for their aesthetic detail and clarity. Each map offers a faithful record of Newham’s evolving landscape, bringing to life the area as your ancestors would have known it. With this unique map, you don’t just own a decorative artwork—you own a piece of Newham’s living history.

Please note you are purchasing a fully customised old map. Modern landmarks, such as your house, may not have been built yet! You can contact me to check if a certain location, landmark or feature is shown on this map.

Generally, larger maps look much better than smaller maps, because you can enjoy all of the smaller details. If you need a smaller map, I would suggest ‘zooming in’ so that the map covers a smaller area.

Because these maps are custom made to order, we can make you a map that looks great at at any size, from very small (8x10in/20x25cm) all the way to a few metres. If you are looking for a very large map, please get in touch.

The model in the listing images is holding the 18x24in (45x60cm) version of this map.

Every map can be personalised or customised, for example if you want to mark your house or street on the map. The fifth listing image shows an example of my map personalisation service.

This personalised map would make a wonderful housewarming, birthday, Christmas, Father's Day, Mother’s Day, wedding anniversary or work leaving gift for someone from Borough of Newham, or someone who works there.

This map is available as a giclée print on acid free archival matte paper, or on artist’s cotton canvas. Several frame choices are available for free, or custom framing is available for an additional fee. Please get in touch if you’re looking to order a very large map for a hotel or office, or if you’re looking for a size that isn’t available on my shop.
