Charles Goad Insurance Plan of London, sheet 222 [Soho: Carnaby Street, Great Marlborough Street, Liberty and the London Palladium]


Goad's fire insurance plan of London, sheet 222, covers Soho's Carnaby Street and the London Palladium (W1). Behind the boutiques it shows gown factories, woollen premises and a glove factory, evidence of the making and storage work that then went on behind shopping streets now given over to retail and leisure. Carnaby Street itself was pedestrianised in October 1973. Frank Matcham's Palladium of 1910 is still a working theatre on Argyll Street, and Liberty and Marks & Spencer's Pantheon store on Oxford Street both trade on. Marshall Street Baths, opened in 1931, closed in 1997 and reopened in 2010 as a leisure centre, whereas the Academy Cinema, then London's leading art-house, closed in 1986 and was demolished in 1989. The Academy's basement ballroom at 165 Oxford Street was the Marquee Club's first home, from 1958 to 1964, and the Rolling Stones made their first live appearance here on 12 July 1962. The map retains the cinema and ballroom, but the Marquee had moved to Wardour Street before the final revision. The London Electricity Board Western Substation is also marked. Goad's plans were compiled 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 first-floor vacancy note at 51 Great Marlborough 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 Poland Street, Marshall Street, Newburgh Street, Ganton Street and Broadwick Street.

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 221 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.
