Insurance Plan of London Vol. VI: sheet 133

1 : 480 This detailed 1887 plan of London is one of a series of twenty-seven 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 Parish of St. JAMES CLERKENWELL Taken from ye last Survey With Corrections

1 : 3840 This is the second edition of the plan of the parish of St. James, Clerkenwell by Richard Blome. Sadler's Well's is marked on the map near the top of the sheet. Built in 1683, at the time of the publication of this map, it was little more than a small music hall acting as a side attraction to a medicinal spa. Although visited by 500 people a day at the height of the spa's popularity, by 1687 it had fallen into disrepair. It was restored in 1746 by a local builder, Thomas Rosoman. Blome, Richard

PLAN of the ESTATE of Thos Seckford, Esq. Lying in Clerkenwell, in the County of Middlesex; Given for the Support of his ALMS -HOUSES AT WOODBRIDGE, in Suffolk. 1587. (Taken in 1764)

1 : 1476 This is a plan of Thomas Seckford's estate in Clerkenwell. A note at bottom left states that the estate is to be leased in 6 parts for 60 years each. It seems that there was intention to colour the plan as the key refers to colours. ''New Prison'' is marked just left of the cartouche. Clerkenwell Bridewell was built in 1616 as an overflow for Bridewell and was hence known as ''New Prison''. An additional ''New Prison'' was built adjacent to it later in the century to relieve pressure on Newgate. Lowell

A "plan of the city of London after the great fire in the year of our Lord 1666; with the modell of the new city according to the design and proposal of Sir Christopher Wren, Knt., etc., for rebuilding thereof;"

$title$

A Plan for Rebuilding the City of London after the Great Fire in 1666; Designed by that Great Architect Sr Chrisr. Wren; & approved by King and Parliament, but unhappily defeated by Faction.

1 : 31680 This is an 18th-Century copy of Sir Christopher Wren's plan for rebuilding London after the great fire destroyed seven-eighths of the city. Wren, at this point an Oxford astronomer with comparatively little architectural experience, was among the first to present a plan to Charles II after the catastrophe. The narrow streets which had helped the fire's progress are replaced on his plan by monumental avenues radiating from piazzas. The influence of the classical buildings and formal street plans which Wren had studied in Paris are a clear influence. He also proposes the construction of a Thameside quay from Bridewell to the Tower, replacing the ramshackle wooden wharfside buildings with warehouses. A vignette of 'Thamesis' (the putative river god) with London burning in the background has been added in the lower margin. Wren's plan was never used. Perhaps due to his eargerness to produce a plan quickly, he was inaccurate in making his ground plan and did not consider contours adequately. Neither king nor parliament were to ever take it seriously despite the title's assertion that it was an approved plan. Wren, Christopher

A MAP or GROVNDPLOT of the Citty of London within the Suburbes thereof

Engraved map of London with title in square tablet at top right and reference table with key to churches and other landmarks at bottom right. The map clearly shows the extent of the damage to the city caused by the great fire of 1666: the barren city wards in contrast with bird’s eye views of surviving buildings just outside the city. Also by Hollar is the inset map at bottom left entitled A General Map of the Whole Citty of London, Westminster and all the Suburbs. Smaller in scale but more extensive in coverage, the inset map shows at a glance the extent of the damage caused by the fire. This small map was probably the basis for the many variations on the theme of the London Verbrandt which were published in Amsterdam by Venckel and De Wit in the aftermath of the fire. The fire destroyed nearly the whole city 13,000 buildings circa and though the casualties were few 8 people only died directly because of the fire thousands were made homeless. Hollar, Wenceslaus

The title of this map of the City of London appears along the top, with tables of references at top left and right, a compass rose depicted along the river course. St Paul’s Cathedral, the Tower of London, the Roman wall and ships sailing along the Thames are all shown pictorially. The map's publisher, John Overton, had acquired Peter Stent's stock in the mid-17th Century. This stock included many maps by leading Tudor cartographers. His son Henry succeeded him in 1703 and continued the family's publishing business. Overton, John
