Charles Goad Insurance Plan of London, sheet 137 [Bunhill Row, Bunhill Fields, City University and the Honourable Artillery Company headquarters]


Goad's fire insurance plan of London, sheet 137, covers Bunhill Row, Dufferin Street and the Artillery Ground (EC1), the home of the Honourable Artillery Company. The Company was chartered in 1537 and is the British Army's oldest regiment. Its headquarters, Armoury House of 1735, is drawn with the Albert Room, the drill hall of 1862 that was bombed by the IRA on 9 June 1990, and the Company remains there. The sheet also names the GPO Regional Training School, Peabody Buildings, Chequer School for Girls, St Joseph's RC School, Bunhill Row Recreation Ground and City University Northampton Hall. Northampton Hall, the university's first hall of residence, opened in 1964. St Joseph's school closed in 1977, though its church of 1901 continues. Bunhill Row itself now houses Slaughter and May and City's Bayes Business School. Printers and furriers around Dufferin Street, a plastics factory and warehouses for toys and spices show the earlier mixture of making and storing goods behind this frontage. Their presence gives a measure of the area's change towards the legal and educational employment now represented on Bunhill Row. The sheet was compiled for assessing property and fire risk, and it carries pasted amendments recording changes of use, new layouts, demolition and building, with March 1970 as the latest dated correction. Resurveyed and reissued in June 1960, with a 1960 copyright date, the sheet belongs to a group whose key plans were still being corrected in October 1970 and March 1971. Other streets on the sheet include Chequer Street, Dufferin Avenue, Errol Street, Cahill Street and Roscoe Street.

Insurance Plan of London, Volume VI. 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. Size excludes the tab at the side. 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. Sheet 138 is printed on the reverse side. Each map is listed as a separate product, but the two maps share a single sheet, so whichever you buy, you receive both. If both maps are ordered together, we will send the sheet and refund the second purchase in full.

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.
