The hospital occupied this York Road building from 1828 until it closed in 1971. Since 2013 the building has formed part of the Premier Inn London Waterloo hotel, and hospital accommodation has become accommodation for visitors. Leake Street, the tunnel under the platforms, has been a legal graffiti gallery since Banksy's Cans Festival of May 2008. The sheet also draws the L.C.C. County Hall outline and County Hall North Block. This outline edition, reissued in February 1959, gives footprints and plot divisions with less occupancy and risk detail than the coloured plans. Goad's plans were used to assess property and fire risk, and they were amended with pasted overlays as uses changed and buildings altered. This copy carries one undated slip, at the Addington Street end of block 2272, while later coloured revisions add County Hall and Shell detail and record construction within County Hall in March 1971. The key plan acquired with the same group records corrections to March 1971. Other streets on the sheet include Belvedere Road, Chicheley Street, Griffin Street and Commercial Place.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Antiquemapsandprints.com","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54371766960475,"sku":"P-9-001211","price":95.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0923\/9583\/1643\/files\/P-9-001211a_1e8fc5b0-3140-48e6-b8b4-74832051e020.jpg?v=1792149250"},{"product_id":"goad-london-237-se1-waterloo-county-hall-shell-centre-york-road-1959-1971-map-p-9-001212","title":"Goad London 237—SE1—Waterloo—County Hall—Shell Centre—York Road 1959 (1971) map","description":"\u003cp align=\"left\"\u003eCharles Goad Insurance Plan of London, sheet 237 [Waterloo: County Hall, York Road, Belvedere Road and the Shell Centre]\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp align=\"left\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp align=\"left\"\u003e\u003cem\u003eGoad's fire insurance plan of London, sheet 237, covers Waterloo around County Hall and York Road (SE1), and it names what went on inside the buildings. G.L.C. County Hall appears with its conference hall and library, alongside County Hall North Block and the annex offices, the Shell offices with their theatre and swimming pool, the General Lying-in Hospital and the Waterloo railway arches. Shell's theatre and pool went when the Shell Centre's lower wings were cleared for Southbank Place in 2015, though the tower still stands. The General Lying-in Hospital closed in 1971, and its maternity premises now form part of the Premier Inn London Waterloo hotel. The Greater London Council, which occupied County Hall, was abolished in 1986, and the building now houses hotels and attractions. The medical, civic and corporate facilities here preceded today's substantial visitor economy. The plan was kept current for property and fire-risk assessment with pasted overlays recording changed uses, altered layouts, demolition and new building. It records construction within County Hall in March 1971, which is its latest dated correction and a detail the outline edition lacks. The sheet was resurveyed and reissued in February 1959, with a 1959 copyright date, and the key plan acquired with the same group records corrections to March 1971. Other streets on the sheet include Belvedere Road, Chicheley Street, Addington Street and Leake Street.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Antiquemapsandprints.com","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54371767091547,"sku":"P-9-001212","price":180.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0923\/9583\/1643\/files\/P-9-001212a_89363ac9-ddae-4092-a22d-051f16d5ddee.jpg?v=1792149252"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.antiquemapsandprints.com\/collections\/county-hall-north-block.oembed","provider":"Antiquemapsandprints.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
