London EC4N EC4R Mansion House Walbrook Cannon/King William Street GOAD 1935 map
Mansion House - Walbrook - Cannon Street - St Swithin's Lane - Abchurch Lane - King William Street. Artist/engraver/cartographer: Charles Goad & Co. Provenance: Charles Goad & Co. Type: Lithographed map with original hand colouring and later overlay revisions; scale 40 feet to 1 inch. These very scarce maps were prepared by the civil engineering firm Charles Goad and Co for insurance and related purposes. The circulation of these plans amongst insurance companies, fire brigades and other interested parties was strictly controlled by Goad on a rental basis, and apparently never sold. They were revised and updated, sometimes for decades after publication. Many of these maps show Second World War bomb damage (Buildings damaged or destroyed by bombs are marked green), and later post-war redevelopment. They provide a historical insight into the changing landscape of the City during the middle decades of the twentieth century.
