Insurance Plan of London Vol. IX: sheet 222

1 : 480 This detailed 1889 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).

PLAN OF A NEW STREET FROM CHARING CROSS TO PORTLAND PLACE

The lack of street planning in the West End had been lamented by the architect John Gwynn in 1766 and he had suggested a plan along similar lines to the one shown here. In 1811 Portland Place would revert to the Crown, and without a new road to decrease travelling time to the city centre, profitable development of the land was unlikely. Basire, James
