Allen was the son of a map engraver. He died of cholera on 7 July 1833.[1]

Works

In 1827 Allen published a quarto volume, The History and Antiquities of the Parish of Lambeth and the Archiepiscopal Palace, with illustrations, mainly drawn and etched by himself. He later published:[1]

  • in parts, the History and Antiquities of London, Westminster, and Southwark (1827 and 1828), illustrated by engravings on copper by himself and woodcuts;
  • A New and Complete History of the County of York (1828 to 1831), with engravings after Nathaniel Whittock;
  • History of the Counties of Surrey and Sussex (1829 to 1830), with engravings after Whittock;

and he began in 1830 a History of the County of Lincoln, with engravings after his own drawings, which was completed after his death and published in 1834.[1]

Allen also published guide-books to London and the Zoological Gardens, contributed some plates and articles to the Gentleman's Magazine, and projected A Historical and Topographical Atlas of England and Wales, which he did not live to attempt.[2][1]
