Charles Goad Insurance Plan of London, sheet 63 [Aldgate, Fenchurch Street, Minories and Jewry Street]
Goad's fire insurance plan of London, sheet 63, covers Aldgate, Minories and Jewry Street (EC3), where the City meets the East End. The sheet names the Sir John Cass Technical Institute, which became Sir John Cass College in 1950 and merged into the City of London Polytechnic in 1970. Its successor, London Metropolitan University, dropped Cass's name from its art school in 2020 over his links to the slave trade. On Jewry Street the sheet shows the Metropolitan Bonded Vaults, with bottling rooms and substantial storage of wines and spirits. These were then working premises for handling goods, the physical trade that lay behind the offices and institutions of this eastern edge of the City. Aldgate Pump and a London Electricity Board distributing station are also named. The plans were made to assess property and fire risk, and they were kept current with pasted slips recording new uses, altered layouts, demolition and rebuilding. The latest dated correction, from August 1969, is an upper-floor vacancy note on Carlisle Avenue. The sheet was reissued in August 1937, with a 1949 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 Fenchurch Street, Aldgate High Street, India Street, Crosswall, Crutched Friars and Rangoon Street.
