London South East Vol. J: Key Plan

1 : 4800 This "key plan" indicates coverage of the Goad 1897 series of fire insurance maps of London that were 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).

Engraving of the map of Deptfordof 1623 with the addition madeby John Evelyn, including (near the lower edge of the map) the only known original drawing of the manor house at Sayes Court. 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

Plan of the Proposed Pier at Deptford in the County of Kent

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

View of the Dockyard at Deptford Folios 65v 66

As the royal dockyard closest to London, Deptford was the headquarters of the administration of the navy from Tudor times onwards, and the focus of a populous community of shipyard workers. This drawing is part of a comprehensive survey of the royal dockyards made in 1698. This work is attributed to Edmund Dummer who was chief surveyor to the British Royal Navy at this time, and was intended to illustrate the exact state of the dockyards. The 2 plans below the view of Deptford from the river illustrate the changes and improvements to the dockyard between 1688 and 1698. [Dummer, Edmund]
