Goad fire insurance maps

[protohistorian]

The British library has recently put their collections online and already geo-referenced. You should download the keys to find which sheets you need. This collection is for the whole of England, the link i provided is in the London section already.http://goo.gl/iq8EE0

Thread On Goad Maps

Hi Drummond.

You might be interested in this earlier thread on the subject of Goad Maps: http://forum.casebook.org/showthread.php?t=5959

Thank you, what I deduced from the thread is that the posted scans are from private collections owned by forum members. It sounds like a difficult and very expensive way to view the maps, but hats off to the dedicated collectors. (My own collection consists of reproductions of Bacon's maps of London. I know that reproductions aren't in the same league as vintage copies, but I love them all the same.)

Has anyone visited the British Library to view their comprehensive Goad map collection?

Hey Drummond.

Hopefully this will help.

Greetings ,

I am very new to this forum but I am fascinated by the sections of the London Goad maps that a few of you have posted. Is the British Library the only source of these maps? If not, where can I find them? I live across the pond (Midwestern US), so hopefully the British Library will make their entire Goad map collection available for online viewing at some point in time.

To those of you who have posted the sections of the maps that pertain to the murder sites, do you have more expansive scans on hand? I'm trying to visualize precisely where the murders occurred using extant Victorian structures as markers, but some of these buildings are cropped from the smaller maps.

Thanks in advance.
