Insurance Plan of London: sheet 6
This detailed 1889 plan of London is one of a series of 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).

A Map of the PARISH of ST. PAUL COVENT GARDEN, Shewing the site of BEDFORD HOUSE & GROUNDS. From a Survey, made by WILLIAM LYBORN, in the Year 1686.
1 : 960 A pecked line marks the parish boundary of St Paul's, Covent Carden. Covent Garden was the metropolitan estate of the Russell family: the earls and dukes of Bedford. Bedford House, built in 1586 for the third earl of Bedford, appears to have been an important boundary marker. The development of the area in the 1630s saw it become the first suburb outside the City to be financed by the leasehold system and regulated by building covenants. These factors, combined with Inigo Jones' architecture, made Covent Garden a prototype which was aspired to for the next 250 years. Lyborn, William
