Insurance Plan of London Vol. xi: Key Plan 2
1 : 3600 This "key plan" indicates coverage of the Goad 1891 series of fire insurance maps of London 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).

The LONDON DOCKS
1 : 14080 This is Daniel Alexanders original design for the London Docks and Cut. The plan's title and key are at lower left, with the site of the new docks highlighted in blue. Alexander's original design included a 20-acre St. Georges Dock to the west and a seven-acre Shadwell Dock to the east. Each would have their own basin, and be linked by a small Tobacco Dock. Opened in 1805, London Docks were the nearest to the city, and for 21 years all imported tobacco, rice, wine and brandy (except that from the East and West Indies) had to unload there.
