Insurance Plan of London North West District Vol. C: sheet 30
1 : 480 This detailed 1900 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 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

A plan of the City's Estate in Tottenham Court Road
This plan shows a proposed new street near Bedford Square on land owned by the City of London.In the notes on the left side of the sheet the rationale behind the different colours is explained.Gentlemen's houses are to be built with gardens, at the opposite end of which will be houses for shopkeepers.The shops will have large fronts opening on to Tottenham Court Road.The rear wall of the shop keepers houses are to have no lights or other openings, presumably so as not to overlook the gardens of the gentlemen.

A Plan of the intended IMPROVEMENTS, on the Estate of his Grace the Duke of BEDFORD. 1800 16
1 : 2784 The area of Bloomsbury represented in this plan has been part of the metropolitan estate of the Russell family, the Earls and Dukes of Bedford since the 17th century. Many of the names of the streets and squares reflect this connection. The plan shows the old British Museum simply marked ''museum'', Russell Square, Brunswick Square, Tavistock Square, Nursery Ground are all indicated as green spaces. Bloomsbury square is marked by a pecked line and coloured green. Bedford house has become Bedford Place, constructed in 1801-5 by James Burton. Under the 6th Duke of Bedford the area was developed north and east, principally by James Burton and Thomas Cubitt. The resulting squares became a favourite area for writers and painters. Neele
