Any OS map experts on here?
Discussion
I am trying to get a screenshot of an OD 1:1250 map of Angel road Station ,Edmonton London dated between 1940-1960 that shows the eailway lines and junction leading to Enfield
Although NLS.com shows that they havw 1:1250 on file to view . i just cannot goet hold of the reqd one
For help the map oi am after is the one below TQ3593SW (1960)
Any suggestions most welcome and appreciated
Two bits of Trivia
The Tottenham cemetery was the place that the Hatton Garden burglars buried a lot of their loot!!
However ( and this is about 99% true is that there as A Daimler And Lanchester Specialist in Edmonton. One of the Mechanics was a part time grave digger there, and if the lift at the garage was in use. he took the customers cars to a recently dug grave and parked over it to do whatever work was needed. That is the 99% as my Dad was good friends with the owners and had only two non Daimler/Lanchester cars. the 1% was that the used parts never returned to the garage but remaind in the grave suitably covered!! I would like to know is the police who did the searching ever found old car parts, and more interestingly what they made of it all

All I did was look at the bottom of the map posted .. 
.. and then went here to find the reference.

It feels suspiciously straightforward, so now I’m questioning myself
The NLS will print out a full size copy of any map they have in archive and post it out to you.
I once got them to print out an historic plan of Edinburghs proposed new town and the old town as a birthday present for my girlfriend. It hangs on the wall after I got it framed. The price was not too bad.
