The map
Waltham Abbey sits in Essex on the eastern side of the Lea Valley, at the point where London's northern fringe gives way to countryside. The old town is small and close-knit, gathered around the abbey church and its market place, while newer housing spreads out to the east and north on higher ground.
The abbey church is traditionally said to be the burial place of King Harold, who died at Hastings in 1066. To the west, the valley floor is a network of river channels, reservoirs and former gunpowder works; to the east lies Epping Forest. The M25 cuts across the southern side of the town.
A Waltham Abbey map poster brings these layers together. The irregular medieval centre, the parallel channels of the River Lea, the large reservoirs and the green mass of forest all show clearly in black and white, making a composition with far more variety than its size would suggest.
The historic core clusters around the abbey church and market square, with short, irregular streets that stand apart from the planned estates around them.
West of the town, the River Lea splits into several parallel channels and navigations, with reservoirs and wetlands between them. It is the most intricate part of the map.
To the east the streets stop at a broad stretch of woodland, and the change from built-up blocks to open forest gives the poster a clear, strong boundary.

Why Waltham Abbey
Waltham Abbey is small enough to feel like a single place yet sits beside London, and people who know it tend to have strong ties to it. A map of the abbey town, the valley and the forest makes a thoughtful present.
You can change the title, add a subtitle such as a street name or year, and edit the coordinates line. Five styles are available: Classic black & white, Noir, Paper, Blueprint and Sand.
