Chelmsford, Essex [fire insurance plans] : sheet 2

1 : 480 This detailed 1909 plan of Chelmsford is one of a series of 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).

Chelmsford 8

Lines in pencil and red ink radiate from trigonometrical stations within the drawing and from the margins. Chelmsford is the largest settlement in the area. A straight, unmarked Roman road leads out from the city. The fact that the road is coloured yellow suggests it was still considered a major communication route. Three mills are marked on the River Chelmer. Marshland along the riverbanks is indicated by rows of dashes, differentiating it from the surrounding cultivated land. A lake and individual trees in the grounds of Moulsham Hall are recorded, towards the bottom of the landmass, a reminder of the meticulous nature of the Survey.
