Charles Goad Insurance Plan of London, sheet 217 [Regent Street, Savile Row, Heddon Street and Carnaby Street]


Goad's fire insurance plan of London, sheet 217, covers Regent Street, Savile Row and Carnaby Street (W1). Carnaby Street was a shabby rag-trade backstreet until John Stephen's boutiques made it Swinging London's showpiece, and it was pedestrianised in October 1973. The basement club marked at 9 Kingly Street is the Bag O'Nails site, where the Jimi Hendrix Experience played two shows on 11 January 1967. The club was still hosting bands in 1970; a much later revival as a private members' club ran from 2013 to 2018. The Bag O'Nails was also where Paul McCartney met his future wife, the photographer Linda Eastman, in 1967. No. 3 Savile Row, marked “Offices”, was the Beatles’ Apple Corps headquarters and the setting for their final public performance, the rooftop concert of 30 January 1969. Apple Corps plans to open a Beatles visitor attraction there in 2027. Nearby, 23 Heddon Street provided the setting for David Bowie’s Ziggy Stardust album cover photograph in 1972. On the sheet, woollen warehouses around Golden Square and John Heathcoat's net and silk premises near Savile Row show the working textile district that then lay behind Regent Street's fashionable shopfronts. Today those streets are known for shopping and dining. The New Gallery Evangelistic Centre, then a church in a former Regent Street cinema, has been Burberry's flagship since 2012. The sheet also names the Church of the Assumption on Warwick Street, Mappin & Webb, and Miss Selfridge, whose shops closed in 2021. Goad's plans were made to assess property and fire risk, and they were corrected with pasted overlays recording new uses, altered layouts, demolition and rebuilding. The latest dated correction is October 1970, and a separate pencil working note is dated November 1974. The sheet was resurveyed and reissued in November 1948, with a 1950 copyright date, and the key plan acquired with this group records corrections to October 1970. Other streets on the sheet include Kingly Street, New Burlington Street, Heddon Street, Ganton Street, Beak Street, Vigo Street, Glasshouse Street and Brewer Street.

Insurance Plan of London, Volume IX. 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. Sheet 218 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.
