CAPTION PRINTED BELOW PICTURE: 'Map of the Parish of St Marylebone 1833'

The map shows Marylebone, Fitzrovia west of Cleveland Street, the Lisson Grove area, and St John's Wood (named on the map as "Portland Town"). The map shows the area before the construction of the railways; the Metropolitan Line was not opened until 1863, and Marylebone main line station in 1899. Lords Cricket Ground is shown in its current location as a square field (it had moved from its second site in 1814 to make way for the construction of the Regent's canal). The Clergy Orphan School is shown occupying part of Lords' current site. Also shown on the map is the Marylebone workhouse, the Portman Square barracks and the Diorama (adjacent to Park Square). A number of streets have seen name changes since the publication of the map. For example Moxon Street is shown as Paradise Street, New Cavendish Street west of Harley Street (Great Marylebone Street), Weymouth Street west of (Little) Marylebone Street (Bowling Street), the east end of Blandford Street (South Street), York Terrace West (Salcombe Place), baker Street between Dorset Street and the Marylebone Road ("New Road from Paddington") is shown as York Place. The original Oxford Market is shown in what is now Market Place. St John's Wood Farm is shown. Hamilton Terrace is shown as laid out, but with only a couple of buildings constructed along it. The original Harley and Montagu Houses are both shown.
