Nelson Square was laid out around 1807, and Shelley lodged there in 1814, but the square lost its terraces to bombing. On this sheet the square is reshaped by Southwark's council blocks of 1956–64, namely Rowland Hill House, Vaughan House and Helen Gladstone House, which still stand today. In the Kennington inset, the sheet records substantial housing redevelopment, with Cottington Close replacing the older street-and-plot arrangement. The sheet also names Pakeman House, the Police Section House, Brutus Court and the Southern Region Railway arches, as well as the London Trustee Savings Bank, which later merged into Lloyds TSB. Sawmilling, joinery, engineering and storage premises around Great Suffolk Street and the railway arches show the productive work among Southwark's housing. The Union Theatre's later home in the Old Union Yard Arches on Union Street exemplifies the reuse of this railway fabric for culture and leisure. Goad's plans were made to assess property and fire risk, and they took pasted overlays recording changed uses, demolition and rebuilding. Premises in the Newington inset are marked vacant in May 1968, and the latest dated correction, of March 1971, is a vacancy note on the north side of Hurlbutt Place. The sheet was resurveyed and reissued in January 1956, with a 1956 copyright date, and the key plan acquired with the group records corrections to March 1971.

It catches Nelson Square on the eve of clearance. The square was laid out around 1807, and Shelley lodged there in 1814. It had lost many houses to bombing, and by 1950 the council was acquiring it all for housing. This outline of November 1952 preserves the Georgian street-and-plot framework that council blocks replaced between 1956 and 1964. Later coloured revisions record the change, with the Rowland Hill, Vaughan and Helen Gladstone blocks around the square and Cottington Close in the Kennington inset. The sheet also names Pakeman House and the Southern Region Railway approaches. Outlines record streets, building footprints and plot divisions with less occupancy and risk detail than the coloured plans. Both kinds of plan served to weigh property and fire risk, and both were amended with pasted overlays as uses changed and buildings were replaced.

The junction of Walworth Road and Newington Butts is now dominated by Strata, the 147-metre residential tower completed in 2010. The South Eastern and Chatham Railway also crosses the plan.

That early-1960s block was demolished for Strata, the 43-storey residential tower with rooftop wind turbines, which was completed in 2010 and won that year's Carbuncle Cup. This was a conspicuous change from office employment to high-rise housing. The sheet also shows larger housing developments, including Wollaston Close and Draper House, the London County Council tower of 1965, consolidating older plots around Walworth Road, Brune Place and Clock Place. It names a Metropolitan Police garage, Victorian terraced shops and Southern Region railway arches as well. Goad prepared these plans for insurers judging fire risk and kept them current with pasted overlays recording changes of use, demolition and new construction. The printed base heading is dated June 1901, with a 1950 copyright date. Vacancy annotations on Walworth Road and Deacon Street are dated March 1971, which is later than a March 1965 note near Brune Place.

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.
