London EC2Y EC1Y Chiswell Street Brewery Beech St Whitecross St GOAD 1939 map
Chiswell Street - Milton Street - Beech Street - Whitecross Street - Bunhill Row - Silk Street - Lambs Passage. 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.
