Insurance Plan of London Vol. VIII: sheet 198
1 : 480 This detailed 1888 plan of London is one of a series of twenty-six 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).

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
