A MAP OF THE PARISH OF ST. MARY MAGDALEN BERMONDSEY

1 : 5400 This parish plan was published in Strype's 1755 annotated edition of Stow's 'Survey of England'. The title appears along the top, with a key to streets, lanes, courts and alleys in tables at top left and lower right, compass rose in the centre, and scale bar at bottom right. Damaged by repeated flooding, the old medieval parish church of St. Mary was demolished at the beginning of the 18th Century. In 1715, a new parish church was erected on the site with funds raised by the parishioners themselves after the Commissioners of the Fifty New Churches Act turned down their request for money.

Insurance Plan of London: sheet 3

This detailed 1889 plan of London is one of a series of six 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).

Plan of Proposed London Docks (at Wapping)

The number of ships using the Port of London had risen steadily throughout the 18th century. Yet the riverside quays were still those first licensed in 1558. In 1793, the decision was taken to ease the congestion by digging deep-water basins where ships could be moored in more secure and controlled circumstances. Plans were ordered for wet docks in Wapping, the Isle of Dogs and Rotherhithe. Daniel Alexander was charged with devising the scheme for the proposed London Docks at Wapping, a 35 acres site that would hold 500 ships. This plan, published in 1799, shows the many streets and squares that would be lost to the new docks - more than half of Wapping south of Pennington Street. The following year, Parliament passed the London Dock Act and details were published of the land and properties destined for compulsory purchase. Names of the owners and tenants are listed, together with the length of their notice to quit. Alexander, Daniel

Plan of the Proposed DOCKS

1 : 6336 This is Daniel Alexanders original design for the London Docks. Commissioned by the House of Commons, the plan's title is at bottom left with scale bars to bottom right. An explanatory note appears in panel below the plan. Alexander's original design included a 20-acre St. Georges Dock to the west and a seven-acre Shadwell Dock to the east. Both would have their own basins, and be linked by a small Tobacco Dock. Opened in 1805, London Docks were the nearest to the city and for 21 years all imports of tobacco, rice, wine and brandy (except those from the East and West Indies) had to unload there.
