Insurance Plan of London Vol. XI: sheet 344~r_5

1 : 480 This detailed 1890 plan of London is one of a series of three 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).

Newcourt's 'Map of London', detail showing the East End

Richard Newcourt’s map, made in 1658, represents the first complete survey of London since the 1550s. It shows the City and its surrounding countryside in the closing years of the Commonwealth. Though most buildings are depicted in a conventionalised way, the map gives some idea of the actual appearance of more important places, such as churches and livery halls. The inclusion of their coats of arms in the map's decoration suggests the Livery Companies may have commissioned Newcourt's work. The map provides a fairly accurate picture of the development of the City's eastern suburbs, already spreading along the roads that reached out across the countryside towards the surrounding villages. As well as being the docklands of London, this was the area where the first native English school of chartmaking, the so-called 'Thames School', was getting underway at the very time this map was made. Newcourt, Richard
