Map: Fire Insurance, 1886

Fire Insurance 1886

The map is colour coded as follows:

red = brick buildings
yellow = wooden buildings
dark blue = stone buildings
light blue = low level skylights
purple = high level skylights.

By looking carefully at the map above, what can you tell about the materials most of the buildings were made from?

After looking at this map, do you think this was a high, a medium or a low fire risk area? Explain why.
