Charles Goad Insurance Plan of London, sheet 36 [Holborn, Chancery Lane, Staple Inn and Lincoln's Inn]
Goad's fire insurance plan of London, sheet 36, covers Holborn and Staple Inn (EC4, WC2 and WC1), where Staple Inn's timber-framed front of 1585 still faces High Holborn. Today the Inn's Hall houses the Institute and Faculty of Actuaries. Chancery Lane Safe Deposit, which the sheet labels beneath the office accommodation, lives on as the London Silver Vaults. Dealers there still sell antique and contemporary silver, an unusually enduring trade in this legal district. The sheet also names the Patent Office library, whose collection is now part of the British Library. It names the Chancery Lane Underground Station booking offices, National Westminster Bank, the Sun Alliance offices and Lincoln's Inn Chapel as well. These working plans were prepared for property and fire-risk assessment, and they carried pasted overlays recording new uses, altered layouts, demolition and new building. The Heron House office development is marked under construction in September 1969, matching the date of the Breams Buildings vacancy annotation, and this is the latest dated correction. The sheet was resurveyed and reissued in February 1940, with a 1950 copyright date, and the key plans acquired with it carry corrections as late as October 1970 and March 1971. Other streets on the sheet include Holborn, Chancery Lane, Southampton Buildings, Furnival Street, Cursitor Street and Old Square.
