Fire Insurance Plans of London

 

Fire Insurance Plans of London

Part of a collection at the British Library.

However, it always takes me a long time to find the sheet I want so this is going to be a collection of the Key sheets to aid that process.

Insurance Plan of City of London Vol. I: Key Plan

Shelfmark: Maps 145.b.22.(.1)

Scale: Inches

Genre: Map

Map scale ratio: [1:480]. 40 ft = 1 inch. and [1:2400]. 200 ft = 1 inch.

This "key plan" indicates coverage of the Goad 1886 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).

Sholing

 

Sholing, Bitterne, Hampshire

 

Domesday Book

There appears to be no mention of Sholing in the Domesday Book, at least in that form of spelling. However there is an entry for Hound.

Domesday Book HoundHound was a settlement in Domesday Book, in the hundred of Mansbridge and the county of Hampshire.

It had a recorded population of 23 households in 1086, putting it in the largest 40% of settlements recorded in Domesday (NB: 23 households is an estimate, since multiple places are mentioned in the same entry).

The image is an extract of the Domesday Book, fortunately transcribed for us.

Land of Hugh of Port

Households

Households: 31 villagers. 9 smallholders. 6 slaves.

St Mary's Church Southampton

St Mary's Church, Southampton

Situated in the angle of St Mary's Street and Chapel Road, St Mary's, although outside the town walls, is regarded as the mother church of Southampton. The original church dates back to the Saxon period, the minster at Wic (Hamwic), the forerunner of the medieval St Mary’s, being mentioned in Saxon charters of 713 and 776. St Mary’s was not directly named in the Domesday Book in 1086 but was probably one of the churches mentioned in connection with the manor of South Stoneham. John Leland writing in 1546 repeats a traditional story that the church was completely rebuilt in the 12th century thanks to the efforts of Queen Matilda.

This page is dedicated to Mr Gerry Dutton of Basingstoke whose work on the The North Hampshire Tithe Map Project and the resultant website gave me the inspiration to consider my work on Tithe Apportionment and Maps as a collective as well as the previous thought of only including the work within the relevant One Place Studies or articles. Thank you for the inspiration.
