  • Charles E. Goad began a fire insurance map-making company in Canada in 1875. Goad established a London office in 1885. [1]
  • Goad’s series of large scale Fire Insurance Plans of various towns and cities showed a quite remarkable amount of detail of value to insurance companies. Nowadays they provide an immensely useful source of historical information about the buildings in selected areas of cities.
  • The Goad plans for Manchester have been scanned at high resolution, and are available on CD from the Digital Archives Association [2]
