Maps & road plans are great aren't they? So useful for telling you what was where at the time.

Yes...but some are more reliable than others as I've just been seeing on this from Philips' Handy Volume Atlas of London for Ilford for 1891.

So let's see what's wrong with it.
1/9 Let's start south of the High Road. Clements was sold in 1879 and by 1891 there were houses in Clements, Cleveland, Oakfield, Albert, and Scrafton Road in what had been Lot 11

But on this map those roads re nowhere to be seen and Clements is apparently still there!
