The ICHNOGRAPHY of COLCHESTER

Ichnography’ originally meant the tracing out of a section or ground plan of a building but, by the 18th century, it was used in the wider sense of a plan or map of an area. This plan was published by T Osborne and appears in Phillip Morant’s The History and Antiquities of the County of Essex’, 1768. Morant, Phillip Osborne, T.

Colchester, (Essex) [fire insurance plans] : Key Plan

1 : 3600 This "key plan" indicates coverage of the Goad 1909 series of fire insurance maps of Colchester 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).

Colchester is the largest settlement featured on this drawing. The draughtsman has recorded the layout of the streets in red ink. On nearby Lexden Heath, an 'Ancient Intrenchment' is depicted. These lines of entrenchment date back to the Roman occupation. The drawing extends to cover Mersey Island and the River Colne. The salt marshes are distinguished by irregular patterning and the individual channels of the Colne are named. A military battery is marked at the mouth of the river, reflecting the military focus of these drawings. A blue line indicates the level of the low water mark.
