The Southwark municipal offices shown here then occupied the former Newington Vestry Hall, which opened in 1865. Together with Southwark Central Library, that building forms what is now Walworth Town Hall. The town hall was badly damaged by a roof fire in March 2013, and it reopened at the turn of 2025 as workspace, a community centre and a café. Nearby, the sheet shows the Southwark Health Services Department, the Southern Region railway coal depot, the G.P.O. sorting office, cold stores, the Labour Hall and the Browning Settlement. Coal storage, sausage and cooked-meat manufacture, coachbuilding and vehicle repairs together reveal the businesses that kept the city supplied with fuel, food and transport. The South Central East and West housing developments subsequently introduced a substantial residential use along this working railway corridor. The settlement was founded in 1895, and its campaign helped win old-age pensions in 1908. Elsewhere, the sheet shows a former chapel plot that had become motor premises and cleared ground. These fire-risk plans took pasted overlays recording changes of use, demolition and rebuilding. The printed base heading is dated June 1901, with a 1952 copyright date. No correction carries a date, but the municipal-office label names the London Borough of Southwark, which was formed in 1965, so that amendment dates from 1965 or later. A key plan acquired with the group records corrections to March 1971. Other streets on the sheet include Steedman Street, Crampton Street, Wansey Street, Larcom Street, Ethel Street, Amelia Street, Manor Place, Browning Street and Colworth Grove.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Antiquemapsandprints.com","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54371809657179,"sku":"P-9-001271","price":170.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0923\/9583\/1643\/files\/P-9-001271a_25047a13-63cc-4cd4-a5f0-e40191cebaf4.jpg?v=1792149404"},{"product_id":"goad-london-288-se17-walworth-road-town-hall-library-coal-depot-1901-c1971-map-p-9-001272","title":"Goad London 288—SE17—Walworth Road—Town Hall—Library—Coal depot 1901 (c1971) map","description":"\u003cp align=\"left\"\u003eCharles Goad Insurance Plan of London, sheet 288 [Walworth Road, railway coal depot, Southwark Town Hall and Newington Public Library — uncoloured outline]\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp align=\"left\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp align=\"left\"\u003e\u003cem\u003eGoad's uncoloured outline fire insurance plan of London, sheet 288, covers Walworth Road (SE17) around Southwark Town Hall and Newington Public Library, which appear here under their original printed labels. Together they form today's Walworth Town Hall, which opened as Newington Vestry Hall in 1865, was unroofed by fire in March 2013 and reopened at the turn of 2025 with workspace, community rooms and a café. On the sheet, undated pasted changes run along Walworth Road opposite them, south of Amelia Street and Larcom Street, and on Browning Street, where Robert Browning was baptised in its chapel. A separate Baptist Chapel is labelled between Heygate Street and Wansey Street; the plan also names the Midland Railway coal depot and the South Eastern and Chatham Railway. Later coloured revisions identify the London Borough of Southwark municipal offices and record motor-related uses and clearance. Made for fire insurance, outline plans of this kind show footprints and plots with less occupancy and risk detail than the coloured plans, and they took pasted overlays to record new uses, demolition and rebuilding.
