It offers a direct comparison between Bankside's electricity-generating past and its present cultural role. Giles Gilbert Scott's building, which was designed for coal but built to burn oil, went up in two campaigns, in 1947–52 and 1958–63, and stopped generating in 1981. The St Christopher House outline marks the government office block of 1959, which has since been replaced by Bankside 1 2 3. Willow Wharf, Royal George Wharf, Queen's Wharf, Sunderland Wharf, Rose's Wharf, Crown Wharf, Travers Wharf and Phoenix Wharf then lined the River Thames. Outline editions were made for fire-risk assessment, and they give footprints and plot divisions rather than occupancies. The later coloured revisions, which were kept current with pasted slips, detail the boiler and turbine houses, the chimney and the oil storage. This outline edition was reissued in February 1950, and although pasted revisions are present, no correction on it carries a date. The key plans acquired with the group carry corrections as late as March 1971. Other streets on the sheet include Hopton Street, Park Street, Canvey Street and Zoar Street.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Antiquemapsandprints.com","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54371780264283,"sku":"P-9-001228","price":120.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0923\/9583\/1643\/files\/P-9-001228a_286cb67b-9d3b-4152-8ade-801d3d9b2dc2.jpg?v=1792149296"},{"product_id":"goad-london-245-se1-bankside-power-station-sumner-hopton-street-1950-1971-map-p-9-001229","title":"Goad London 245—SE1—Bankside Power Station—Sumner, Hopton Street 1950 (1971) map","description":"\u003cp align=\"left\"\u003eCharles Goad Insurance Plan of London, sheet 245 [Bankside Power Station, Bankside, Sumner Street and Hopton Street]\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 245, covers Bankside (SE1) and maps the Central Electricity Generating Board's Bankside Works, now Tate Modern, room by room. It shows the boiler house and turbine house, the switch rooms and control room, and the chimney and fuel-oil tanks. The turbine house on the sheet compares directly with the Turbine Hall, which opened to art audiences in 2000, and the plan maps the machinery behind a building now known for exhibitions and visitors. Designed for coal but built to burn oil, the power station was completed in December 1963 and shut down in 1981. Inland of Willow, Queen's and Crown Wharves on the River Thames then stood St Christopher House, the office block of 1959 that was replaced by Bankside 1 2 3. Goad's plans were made to assess property and fire risk, and they were kept current with pasted slips. Here a riverside warehouse is labelled vacant in a May 1968 correction, and the latest correction, of March 1971, notes the printing works at Hopton Street and Sumner Street as vacated. The sheet was resurveyed and reissued in February 1950, with a 1950 copyright date, and the key plans acquired with it were corrected as late as March 1971.
