William Hyett.Map of Hampstead.The individual settlements that make up this area of London are shown by red blocks; with boundary lines indicating the fields separating them. Shading and soft interlining indicate relief; neatly illustrated at Primrose Hill; the summit of which is left bare. The barracks at the edge of Hyde Park are illustrated at the very bottom of the map. The dark blue-black line running from West Drayton to Brentford and Paddington is the Grand Junction Canal. This was London's principal link to the rest of Britain's canals; allowing the passage of goods to and from the industrial towns of the North and Midlands. Hyett includes a ground plan of Kenwood House in Hampstead; showing a level of detail much greater than might be expected from a map with a scale of two inches-to-the-mile.
