Insurance Plan of London: sheet 8
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).

Map of Stepney, detail from Horwood's 'Map of London'
Stepney used to be known as Stebenheath or Stebenhythe. Hythe is an early word for a landing place for boats, so the name may mean St Steven's wharf. The parish once included all the land east of the city to the River Lea and north of the Thames to Hackney. In 1086, the famous Domesday survey of England recorded a population of only 900 living among its meadows, marshes and woodlands. As the area became more populated in late medieval times, it was broken up into new parishes and Stepney shrank to the community living around the Church of St Dunstan. During the 18th century, elegant Georgian houses graced Stepney Green, by then as fashionable a place to live as Hackney. However, the 19th century brought a tide of cheap speculative building, both domestic and industrial, and Stepney's air of gentility was swept away as wealthy homeowners moved to the smart new streets being built to the west of London.
