New Series Sheet 9 Bartholomew's "Four Miles to the Inch" Road Map of England and Wales Middlesex, Essex, Suffolk, &c.
New, larger sheets than in 1898 - the "New Series". Counties' edge-colouring.
There is now a key to the symbols.
Railway lines include Forest Gate to Tottenham (opened 1894), but no Chigwell loop (1903) or Corringham light (1901 - but maybe too small to show at this scale).
Scale correct at 12 miles = 75.2mm, or 4.0 miles/inch, ie 1:255,000.

The new series was first published in 1897, but as it is presumably later than the 1898 WH Smith map (that used old series sheets), a date of 1899 is assigned to this one.
