King's Lynn, Norfolk [fire insurance plan] : Key Plan
1 : 3600 This "key plan" indicates coverage of the Goad 1909 series of fire insurance maps of King's Lynn 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).

Wisbech
1 : 31680 This plan covers part of East Anglia, with the town of Wisbech depicted at lower left. The Great Ouse estuary, depicted near top right, served as a way into the Port of Wisbech until it became so silted up that the river was diverted into the sea at Kings Lynn. Drains across fens and marshland are highlighted in blue. These date from the 17th century, when James I appointed Dutch engineer Cornelius Vermuyden to direct the drainage of the fens wetlands. Many local people opposed the scheme as the plan involved commonland on which they grazed cattle. As a result of Vermuyden's work, the Fens changed radically in appearance, from an area of flooded marshes to one of extensively farmed agricultural land. Yeakell, Thomas Jr.
A Chart of the Fens between Lynn Regis, Denver Sluice and Wisbich
This is a plan of the Fenlands around Kings Lynn dating from around 1610. It is thought to be a close copy of a map of the same area by William Hayward dating from 1591, now lost. Fenlands are wet lands usually dominated by grasses and sedges, and often used for agricultural purposes. Here the fenland is divided into plots with the names of the land holder marked. Red roofed buildings provide a generalised view of Kings Lynn on the River Ouse. A scale bar records the scale in perches and furlongs and a decorative but unfinished cartouche dominates the top right corner. Hayward, William
