In the sheet's day, the John Harvard Secondary Boys School here honoured the Southwark butcher's son, baptised in 1607, who gave Harvard University its name. This outline was reissued in November 1952, and it records streets, building footprints and plot divisions with less occupancy and risk detail than the coloured plans. The school premises and earlier plots survive on this outline, while later coloured revisions record educational and postal uses, further clearance and the large printing, binding and garage premises of H.M. Stationery Office. Its publishing arm became The Stationery Office in 1996. The sheet also names Grotto Court and the Southern Region Railway approaches. Goad's sheets were working documents for weighing property and fire risk, and they were amended with pasted overlays whenever uses changed or buildings were replaced. No later pasted building corrections have been identified on this outline edition, and the key plan acquired with the group records corrections to March 1971. Other streets on the sheet include Risborough Street, Loman Street, Pocock Street, Sawyer Street, Pepper Street, Sturge Street, Glasshill Street, King's Bench Street and Argent Street.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Antiquemapsandprints.com","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54371785343323,"sku":"P-9-001236","price":95.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0923\/9583\/1643\/files\/P-9-001236a_37210e3b-92cb-4d87-b970-582d64c382eb.jpg?v=1792149311"},{"product_id":"goad-london-249-se1-southwark-hmso-great-suffolk-union-streets-1952-1971-map-p-9-001237","title":"Goad London 249—SE1—Southwark—HMSO—Great Suffolk \u0026 Union Streets 1952 (1971) map","description":"\u003cp align=\"left\"\u003eCharles Goad Insurance Plan of London, sheet 249 [Southwark: Great Suffolk Street, Union Street, Copperfield Street and H.M.

Stationery Office then ran a manufacturing complex. Rotary printing, typecasting, binding and paper storage filled a whole block beside St Stephen's Parliamentary Press, so government publishing here was factory work rather than office routine. HMSO's publishing arm was privatised in 1996 as The Stationery Office. The sheet shows the former John Harvard school as the John Harvard Teachers Centre, beside a separate parcel post sorting office. Schweppes premises are recorded too, as is Laystall Engineering, which was founded in 1903 and is now in Wolverhampton. The sheet also names the National Provincial Insurance Co.'s glass warehouse and offices, a government garage and a recreation ground. Goad's plans were made to assess property and fire risk, and this sheet carries numerous pasted slips recording changed uses, altered layouts, demolition and rebuilding. The latest dated slip, of March 1971, marks premises in block 2371 vacant. The sheet was resurveyed and reissued in November 1952, with a 1952 copyright date, and the key plan acquired with the group records corrections to March 1971. Other streets on the sheet include Risborough Street, Loman Street, Pocock Street, Sawyer Street, Pepper Street, Sturge Street, Glasshill Street, King's Bench Street and Argent Street.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Antiquemapsandprints.com","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54371786424667,"sku":"P-9-001237","price":180.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0923\/9583\/1643\/files\/P-9-001237a_1694a7ec-b9b5-4be3-aac5-4c46c694fd23.jpg?v=1792149315"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.antiquemapsandprints.com\/collections\/argent-street.oembed","provider":"Antiquemapsandprints.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
