Charles Goad Insurance Plan of London, sheet 404 [Camden Town: Kentish Town Road, Hawley Crescent, Regent's Canal and the Aerated Bread Company works]


Goad's fire insurance plan of London, sheet 404, covers Camden Town at Hawley Crescent and Kentish Town Road (NW1), and it holds the district's lost industry. The Aerated Bread Company's canalside works ceased production in 1982, and Grimshaw's Sainsbury's took its place in 1988. In 2019 the store became the first purpose-built supermarket to be listed Grade II. Terry Farrell converted the Henlys motor depot, a 1930s garage, for TV-am, complete with egg-cups above Regent's Canal, and the station was on air from 1 February 1983. MTV bought the building in 1993, and Paramount holds it now. In the sheet's day, George Newnes publishing premises, butchery and cold stores filled out the trades. Bodley and Garner's St Michael's Church of 1881 still serves the parish, and the sheet marks Hawley Locks on the canal. Such plans were used to price fire risk and were kept current with pasted slips recording new uses, altered layouts, demolition and rebuilding. The latest dated correction identified on this sheet is a vacancy note at 7 Buck Street, dated February 1970. The sheet was resurveyed and reissued in December 1957, with a 1957 copyright date, and a key plan for South London, acquired with the same group, records corrections to March 1971. Other streets on the sheet include Camden High Street, Stucley Place, Camden Road, Camden Street, Lyme Street and Georgiana Street.

Insurance Plan of London, Volume XII. Charles E. Goad, London.

Condition: Good |

Good; suitable for framing. A working sheet from one of the bound Goad volumes historically kept by fire-insurance offices, updated over decades with pasted correction slips. The build-up of correction slips has left the sheet stiff and gently undulating rather than flat, a characteristic of these working plans. There is age toning and light surface soiling, consistent with its long use as a working map. Please check the scan for any blemishes prior to making your purchase. Please contact us if you would like to arrange to view this map. The reverse side is plain, with nothing printed on it.

Condition Guide

We assess the condition of each item using three categories: Good, Fair, and Poor. We strive to ensure that any significant flaws are clearly shown in the images provided and detailed in the accompanying condition statement.

Good

The item presents well, with no significant flaws, and is in frameable condition. Minor imperfections—such as light spotting or offsetting, small blemishes, tight margins, neatly repaired tears, or discreet/professionally executed restoration—do not materially detract from its overall appearance.

Fair

The item shows noticeable flaws but remains in frameable condition. Some buyers may feel these imperfections affect its visual appeal. Typical issues may include more prominent spotting, blemishes, bleed-through from the reverse, obvious offsetting, visible or extensive restoration, wear along fold lines or junctures, small wormholes, trimmed or closely cropped edges, or less carefully executed repairs.

Poor

The item has major flaws that significantly impact its presentation and/or suitability for framing. These may include heavy spotting, staining, bleed-through, offsetting, unrepaired damage, or poorly executed repairs such as tears, holes, or areas of paper loss (including within the printed image). The item may also be fragile and prone to further deterioration.
