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.

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.

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.

Close by stood Peabody Square's housing and the Ophthalmic Hospital, which was founded in 1857 as the South London Ophthalmic Hospital and closed in 1980. Its site now holds London South Bank University's McLaren House residence, which opened in 1994. The St George's Circus obelisk of 1771, which is named on the sheet, was removed in 1897. From 1905 it stood in front of the old Bethlem Hospital, which later became the Imperial War Museum, until its return in 1998.

The hospital's clinical and research buildings at St George's Circus closed in 1980, and London South Bank University's McLaren House student residence replaced them in 1994, as specialist medicine yielded to student housing. The David Greig premises shown here belonged to the family grocery chain, which was sold in 1972 and folded into Key Markets by 1976. The Letraset Ltd printing premises shown on the sheet housed the transfer-lettering firm, which was founded in 1959. The surrounding printers, engineers and bronze foundry show how closely printing sat alongside other manufacturing trades in this part of Southwark. Letraset's rub-down letters allowed designers to compose headlines and artwork by hand, a method largely superseded by digital fonts and desktop publishing in the 1990s. The sheet also shows the Salvation Army Blackfriars Hostel, Peabody Square, Friars House and the London Electrical Company warehouses. These plans were drawn for fire underwriters and revised with pasted slips as uses changed, layouts were altered and buildings came down or went up.
