Charles Goad Insurance Plan of London, sheet 150 [Finsbury Square, Finsbury Pavement, Sun Street and Wilson Street]
Goad's fire insurance plan of London, sheet 150, covers Finsbury Square and Finsbury Pavement (EC2), and its curiosity is the Lex Garage beneath the square's garden. The car park is still there, run by NCP, under a square that keeps its bowling green. The square of 1777 lost its Georgian houses to commercial blocks, among them City Gate House of 1930 by Giles Gilbert Scott and the London & Manchester Assurance offices. That insurer passed to Friends Provident in November 1998 and is now part of Aviva. The sheet also names Dominion Buildings, commercial offices and basement car parks. It was drawn for fire-risk assessment and amended with pasted overlays recording new uses and rebuilding. Its latest dated corrections, from March 1970, include a vacancy note at 33 Wilson Street, while upper floors at 39 Wilson Street, in block 2872, were marked vacant in June 1968. The sheet was resurveyed and reissued in August 1950, with a 1950 copyright date, and key plans acquired with the group were corrected as late as October 1970 and March 1971. Other streets on the sheet include Christopher Street, Sun Street, Lackington Street, Dominion Street, South Place and Ropemaker Street.
