Insurance Plan of London North District Vol. D (Key C): sheet 3-1
1 : 480 This detailed 1901 plan of London is one of a series of twenty 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
