Insurance Plan of London Western District Vol. A: sheet 21

1 : 480 This detailed 1901 plan of London is one of a series of forty-one 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).

Earls Court Terrace

Earls Court Terrace, where a farm stood until the 1860s, is indicated at the bottom of the sheet on the south side of the turnpike road. The White Horse Inn is depicted on the north side of the road in plan and elevation. Before the advent of the railway, inns were the travel centres of London. With their large courtyards, they were able to provide not only refreshment and lodging for travellers, but also stabling and repairs for wagons and coaches and storage facilities for merchants. Salway, Joseph

Earls Court Terrace showing Holland House

The land that became Holland Park is shown here. Holland House can be seen in the distance, carefully rendered by Salway with the striking silhouette of this Jacobean mansion immediately recognisable. At the time that this drawing was surveyed the house, (hosted by Lady Holland who had been ostracised at Court), was a centre of literary and political activity. It was frequented by amongst others, the Whigs, George Canning, Byron, Wordsworth, Scott and Dickens. The drawing makes a detailed study of all the features of the roads that would have been under the management of the Turnpike Trust, such as lamp posts, water pumps and stockades for tethering horses.

Phillimore Place

Estate developments played a big part in the transformation of Kensington from rural parish to metropolitan borough. Houses in the Phillimore Estate are illustrated in this sheet along the north side of Kensington High Street. Built in the 1780s by William Phillimore, the estate occupied much of the land in Kensington once owned by the D'Oyley family. William's ancestor Joseph, originally from Gloucestershire, came in possession of the land when he married Anne D’Oyley. The milestone depicted on the south side of the road indicates distance of two miles to Hyde Park Corner where the toll road terminated. Salway, Joseph
$title$

Counters Bridge

This sheet depicts the beginning of the two and a half mile turnpike road leading into London from Counters Bridge, the westernmost point of today's Kensington High Street, to Hyde Park Corner. Counter’s Bridge over Stanford Brook formed the boundary between the parishes of Kensington and Fulham. The brook took its name, meaning "stony ford", from the ford on the Great West Road.It was formed by three minor streams joining at Thurman Green and flowing into the Thames at Hammersmith Creek. By the end of the 19th century, it had been completely covered in and turned into a sewer. Salway, Joseph

The Road to Earl's Court

Atoll gate and toll keeper's house are depicted at the junction with the road to Earl's Court. This road was in the care of the Kensington Turnpike Trust, together with another 16 miles of roads in West London. To the left of the toll gate, Lord Holland's Grounds are shown, on which site Holland Park now stands. Salway, Joseph

Kensington High Street near Counters Bridge

This first stretch of the toll road leading into London is dirt rather than paved.Open fields, depicted on both sides of the road, tell of Kensington's past as prosperous rural parish. Salway, Joseph

Kensington High Street

In this drawing Salaway makes a detailed study of all the features of the road under the management of the Kensington Turnpike Trust. Ditches draining the road are faithfully recorded and lamp posts are individually numbered and represented three-dimensionally complete with shadow. Open fields, depicted on both sides of the road, tell of Kensington's past as a prosperous rural parish. Salway, Joseph

Lower Phillimore Place

Estate developments played a big part in the transformation of Kensington from rural parish to metropolitan borough. Houses in the Phillimore Estate are illustrated in this sheet along the north side of Kensington High Street. The Building Act of 1774, reinforcing the regulation passed after the Great Fire, specified that houses had to be built to sound and uniform structural standards, restricting the use of decorative woodwork. The estate depicted here was built by William Phillimore in the 1780s, on land once owned by the D'Oyley family. William's ancestor Joseph, originally from Gloucestershire, came in possession of the land when he married Anne D'Oyley. Salway, Joseph

Plan of the parish of PADDINGTON in the County of Middlesex 7

The development of Paddington began at the end of the Napoleonic wars, when the Bishop of London granted permission for building on his estate north of Hyde Park. Under Gutch's supervision, works continued into the 1850s, extending to Bayswater and the Edgware and Harrow Roads. The title of this plan appears at top left, with compass rose at top right and scale bar at bottom left. It shows the final street plan, with the Bishop of London's estate outlined in green, the Great Western Railway terminus in red, and the Paddington estate in yellow. Gutch, George
