Leeds Carriers' Warehouse District: Key Plan

1 : 126720 This "key plan" indicates coverage of the Goad 1896 series of fire insurance maps of Leeds that were originally produced to aid insurance companies in assessing fire risks. The building footprints, their use (commercial, residential, educational, etc.), the number of floors and the height of the building, as well as construction materials (and thus risk of burning) and special fire hazards (chemicals, kilns, ovens) were documented in order to estimate premiums. Names of individual businesses, property lines, and addresses were also often recorded. Together these maps provide a rich historical shapshot of the commercial activity and urban landscape of towns and cities at the time. The British Library holds a comprehensive collection of fire insurance plans produced by the London-based firm Charles E. Goad Ltd. dating back to 1885. These plans were made for most important towns and cities of the British Isles at the scales of 1:480 (1 inch to 40 feet), as well as many foreign towns at 1:600 (1 inch to 50 feet).

Estates in Yorkshire f. A

This is a survey of estates in Yorkshire by Christopher Saxton. Saxton is well known for his atlas of county maps of England and Wales published in 1579 under the patronage of Elizabeth I's Master of requests, Thomas Seckford. This atlas provided the most accurate and detailed image of Britain to date. Later in his career Saxton became an estate surveyor and by the late 1580's was established in this profession. Employed by land owning families and the courts he produced work for consideration during investigations and disputes over property matters. This map, dating from 1594, records the boundaries of adjacent manors. The depiction of hills in profile with shading on one side is typical of Saxton's work and can be seen in the printed maps of his atlas of England and Wales. The map bears Saxton's signature. A scale of miles and furlongs is included. Saxton, Christopher
