Insurance Plan of London East South East District Vol. H: sheet 12

1 : 480 This detailed 1897 plan of London is one of a series of thirteen 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 the proposed pier at Deptford showing the ground plot of the pier and the changes to the street lay out to allow access to the pier highlighted in red. After the closure ofDeptford's Royal Dockyard in the early 19th century, vast tracts of landwere left unemployed on the water front and in the environs of the old Church of St Nicholas. In 1839, an Act of Parliament was passed, establishing the Deptford Pier and Improvement Company. As laid out in the Act, the company's purpose was to "build a new town, consisting of wide streets, adapted for healthful residence or commercial occupation". Landmann, George Ledger, Horson

Map of Deptford, with annotations on population growth by John Evelyn

This is a map of the dockyard and town of Deptford in 1623, with additions by John Evelyn, including (near the lower edge of the map) the only known original drawing of Sayes Court house. Writing in 1703, Evelyn notes the great increase in the population of Deptford since the map was made, commenting that, "the Town is in 80 yeares become neere as big as Bristoll". At this time the 3 largest cities in the country were London, Norwich and Bristol, so this statement demonstrates how rapidly Evelyn perceived the town to have grown in his lifetime. Evelyn, John

FAIRBURN'S PLAN of the proposed WET-DOCKS AND CUT from NEW GRAVEL LANE to BLACKWALL

1 : 16896 The plan's title and publisher's imprint appear at bottom left, with a compass star, key and scale bar at bottom centre.The boundary of the area to be developed is highlighted in red. After a Parliamentary Select Committee in 1796 condemned the congestion at the Port of London, a number of large-scale projects for new docking and shipping facilities were submitted to Parliament. Fairburn's plan illustrates the London merchants' scheme. It consists of an entrance dock that could accommodate 33 loaded ships, two main docks that would accommodate a total of 355 ships and a separate dock for lighters. The plan also included the creation of the 2" 3/4 mile long cut from Wapping to Blackwall. An improved version of this scheme would eventually materialise as the London Docks. Fairburn, John
