Historical information
The Kew Historical Society has an extensive collection of maps and plans; most relating to the former City of Kew (1860-1994). Within this collection, this hand-drawn map is unique.
Significance
The most important and earliest original map of Kew in the collection, showing places of interest in early Kew.
Physical description
Hand-coloured map on heavy paper, depicting from Kew in 1875 from memory by Jesse Dannock. The map includes the names of local institutions and old residents. These, and many of the street names are very faded and have been overwritten with biro at a later date.
