Charles Goad Insurance Plan of London, sheet 221 [Regent Street, Carnaby Street, Liberty and Dickins & Jones]
Goad's fire insurance plan of London, sheet 221, covers Regent Street and Great Marlborough Street (W1), in the sheet's day the home of Dickins & Jones and Liberty. Dickins & Jones is shown filling a large block, with workrooms and packing space behind the selling floors. Trading ceased in January 2006, and the building became shops, offices and a rooftop restaurant, an example of the single-occupier department store in retreat. Liberty & Co still trades from its Tudor-revival building of 1924, timbered from the warships HMS Impregnable and HMS Hindustan. Carnaby Street was pedestrianised in October 1973, and St Thomas's Church in Kingly Street, Tenison's chapel of 1702, has since been demolished, while Government offices are also marked. Goad's plans were made to assess property and fire risk, and they were kept current with pasted overlays recording changes of use, altered layouts, demolition and new building. The latest dated correction, October 1970, is a vacancy note at 33 Maddox Street. The sheet was resurveyed and reissued in September 1946, with a 1950 copyright date, and the key plan acquired with the group records corrections to October 1970. Other streets on the sheet include Hanover Street, Conduit Street, Little Marlborough Street, Argyll Street, Little Argyll Street, Ganton Street, Savile Row and New Burlington Street.
