GOAD MAP:SW1 WC2:Haymarket Panton St Pall Mall Leicester Sq Irving Suffolk 1938
'Haymarket; Panton Street; pall Mall East; Leicester Square; Irving Street; Suffolk Street; Suffolk Place; Whitcomb Street; Oxendon Street; St Martin's Street; Orange Street'. Artist/engraver/cartographer: Charles Goad & Co. Provenance: Charles Goad & Co. Type: Lithographed map with original hand colouring and later overlay revisions dated up to 1948; 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. These maps were revised and updated through to 1948 to reflect the influence of the Second World War between 1939 and 1945 (Buildings damaged or destroyed by bombs are marked green). They provide a historical insight into tthe buildings of central London in the immediate post-war period, prior to the substantial rebuilding and redevelopment seen in subsequent decades.
