The most prominent feature are the bright coloured for the Parliamentary Divisions, as used 1868 to 1885. Don't know which atlas this came from though (may well be published by someone else).

Scale 1:255,000.

The railway from Southend to Shoeburyness is the latest shown as a solid line (opened 1884), but there are then many later lines shown by parallel lines which presumably means "planned", eg Barking to Upminster (opened 1885), Upminster to Laindon and on to Pitsea (opened 1886 & 1888), and Grays Thurrock to Upminster (opened 1892) and Upminster to Romford (opened 1893).
