Dover, Kent [fire insurance plan] :sheet 7

1 : 480 This detailed 1905 plan of Dover is one of a series of eight 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 State of Dover Haven with the new workes 1595

This is a plan of Dover Harbour. It shows the harbour after construction work had begun. Dover harbour was at constant risk from the build up of silt build and flooding and by the reign of Elizabeth I was in a state of decay. Elizabeth I was keen to improve this state of affairs and various schemes were submitted and rejected before the proposals of Thomas Digges were carried out. Digges was a mathematician and Member of Parliament and his scheme was put forward in 1584 with many of his suggestions being carried out in the years leading up to 1592. Before proposing a scheme Digges made a plan of the channels of the area enabling him to best suggest a remedy to the problems. This plan dates from the year of Digges death 1595 most of his proposals had materialized, including the building of a wall, the Great Pent which stretched out into the northern end of the bay. A guide to the new works is provided by a numerical key which distinguishes between the new and previously existing works. The arms are those of Lord Burghley, Elizabeth I’s Secretary of State.
