Insurance Plan of Newcastle on Tyne: sheet 5-2

1 : 480 This detailed 1887 plan of Newcastle-on-Tyne is one of a series of ten sheets in an atlas 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).

The Course of River Tyne from Newcastle to Tynemouth

This is a detailed map of the course of the River Tyne from Newcastle to the mouth of Tynemouth River, it dates from around 1590. On the basis of style it can be attributed to Richard Poulter, a mariner accomplished in chart making. It is possible that Poulter’s name and the cartouche have been lost when the map was cropped. The map shows the sandbanks and sounding at low tide and notes the need for beacons to be placed on rocks which are submerged at high tide. Water depths at high tide are also indicated. The intersecting lines which cover the map are lines of constant bearing known as rhumb lines. These radiate from compass roses and allow the sailor to plot a course from harbour to harbour using dividers and straight edge. It is likely that this chart was prepared for presentation to a government official who would have power to implement the changes suggested. A possible recipient could be Lord Burghley, Elizabeth Secretary of State. Poulter, Richard

DUNELMIENSIS Episcopatus f.68

This is a map of County Durham by Christopher Saxton dating from 1577. It forms part of an atlas that belonged to William Cecil Lord Burghley, Elizabeth I’s Secretary of State. Burghley used this atlas to illustrate domestic matters. This map is actually a proof copy of one which forms part of Christopher Saxton’s Atlas of England and Wales. This atlas was first published as a whole in 1579. It consists of 35 coloured maps depicting the counties of England and Wales. The atlas is of great significance to British cartography as it set a standard of cartographic representation in Britain and the maps remained the basis for English county mapping, with few exceptions, until after 1750. During the reign of Elizabeth I, map use became more common, with many government matters referring to increasingly accurate maps with consistent scales and symbols, made possible by advances in surveying techniques. Illustrating the increasing use of maps in government matters, Lord Burghley, who had been determined to have England and Wales mapped in detail from the 1550s, selected the cartographer Christopher Saxton to produce a detailed and consistent survey of the country. The financier of the project was Thomas Seckford, Master of Requests at the Court of Elizabeth I, whose arms appear, along with the royal crest, on each map. Burghley has annotated this map, adding several place names. The map was engraved by Augustinus Ryther, the most accomplished member of a team of seven English and Flemish engravers employed to produce the copper plates for the atlas. Saxton, Christopher Ryther, Augustinus
