This is a draft idea for creating "Bromley Maps" page.

Bromley maps were published from the late 1800s to the mid 1900s.

Bromley maps are a type of real estate map, similar to Sanborn fire insurance maps, that show very detailed information about urban locations. They include buildings, streets, utility lines, property owners, and other valuable information. They are useful historical documents for genealogy and urban geography.

Trivia / stuff Fire insurance atlases, like Sanborn, do not include property owners but real estate atlases do. This is one of the easiest ways to differeniate between a fire insurance and a real estate atlas.
