The Trocadero of 1930, with more than 3,000 seats, gave way to Ernő Goldfinger's Odeon of 1966, which was itself demolished in 1988. Alexander Fleming House, Goldfinger's ministry offices, was subsequently converted into the flats of Metro Central Heights. Its blocks were retained, so this postwar workplace became homes without leaving the street plan. The sheet also names Telford House, Stephenson House, Rennie House and Rankine House, and the Southern Region railway crosses the sheet. Reissued in March 1962, this outline records streets, footprints and plot divisions with less occupancy and risk detail than the coloured plans. It fixes the rebuilt street pattern before later coloured revisions added cinema, occupancy and housing changes, including work near Arch Street dated March 1971. These working plans were made to assess property and fire risk, and they took pasted overlays recording new uses, layouts, demolition and rebuilding. A key plan for this area acquired with the group records corrections to March 1971. Other streets on the sheet include Newington Causeway, Rockingham Street, Southwark Bridge Road, Lancaster Street, Tiverton Street, Tarn Street, Bath Terrace, Skipton Street, London Road and New Kent Road.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Antiquemapsandprints.com","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54371797238107,"sku":"P-9-001248","price":100.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0923\/9583\/1643\/files\/P-9-001248a_089cd107-f5c5-4035-aca8-1f2d4a95e66b.jpg?v=1792149348"},{"product_id":"goad-london-255-se1-elephant-castle-fleming-house-odeon-cinema-1962-1971-map-p-9-001249","title":"Goad London 255—SE1—Elephant \u0026 Castle—Fleming House—Odeon cinema 1962 (1971) map","description":"\u003cp align=\"left\"\u003eCharles Goad Insurance Plan of London, sheet 255 [Newington Causeway, New Kent Road, Alexander Fleming House and the Odeon cinema]\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 255, covers Elephant and Castle (SE1), where Ernő Goldfinger's Alexander Fleming House is explicitly shown as occupied by the Ministry of Health, with office floors and basement parking. The DHSS left in 1989, and by 2002 the complex had become the flats of Metro Central Heights, a substantial shift from government employment to homes. The complex was listed in 2013, while the Odeon cinema, Goldfinger's 1966 replacement for the Trocadero, was demolished in 1988. Government workshops and stores then filled the railway arches, near the Hertz truck-rental garage, Elephant Motors, Telford House, Stephenson House, Rennie House and Rankine House. Goad's plans were made to assess property and fire risk, and they took pasted overlays recording new uses, layouts, demolition and rebuilding. The sheet's amendments on the rebuilt street pattern document changing cinema use, occupied premises and housing construction, and work near Arch Street dated March 1971 is the latest dated correction. The sheet was resurveyed and reissued in March 1962, with a 1962 copyright date, and a key plan for this area acquired with the group records corrections to March 1971.
