Paddington goods station and its yards were demolished in 1986 and are now Paddington Central, with offices, apartments, hospitality and public space in place of railway handling and storage. On the sheet, the National Carriers maintenance depot bears a name that was announced in 1968, and the company began operations in 1969 as part of the late-1960s reorganisation of railway road freight. The sheet also shows Paddington Basin and the Grand Junction Canal's Paddington Branch running past the Westminster City Council vehicle park and the Post Office telephone engineers' depot. Sarah Siddons secondary school, which opened on North Wharf Road in 1961, joined North Westminster Community School in 1980. The plan was kept current for fire-risk assessment by overlays recording changed uses, altered layouts, demolition and new building. Its latest dated correction is a vacancy note on Harrow Road premises immediately south-east of No. 131, dated February 1970. The printed base heading is dated February 1891, with a 1951 copyright date, and a South London key plan from the same group records corrections to March 1971. Other streets on the sheet include Bishops Bridge Road, Irongate Wharf Road, Edgware Road, Praed Street, Chapel Street and St Michael's Street.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Antiquemapsandprints.com","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54371817095515,"sku":"P-9-001284","price":220.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0923\/9583\/1643\/files\/P-9-001284a_181d3d31-f106-40a4-b63d-dbe1ff69ee09.jpg?v=1792149434"},{"product_id":"goad-london-410-w2-paddington-edgware-road-harrow-rd-flyover-1945-1970-map-p-9-001285","title":"Goad London 410—W2—Paddington—Edgware Road—Harrow Rd flyover 1945 (1970) map","description":"\u003cp align=\"left\"\u003eCharles Goad Insurance Plan of London, sheet 410 [Paddington: Edgware Road, Harrow Road flyover, Praed Street and Paddington Green Hospital]\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 410, covers Paddington at Edgware Road and the Harrow Road flyover (W2), just before the Westway opened above it in July 1970. The sheet shows Paddington Green Children's Hospital still occupying its own complex, with wards and an outpatients department. The hospital closed in 1987, with its facilities transferring to St Mary's, and the 1895 building is now apartments. The 1937 Odeon Cinema and basement bingo hall at 319 Edgware Road closed in 1975 and had come down by 1994, and the site is now a car park. The sheet also names Paddington police station and section house, Midland Bank offices, the Post Office telephone engineers' depot and Olympia Business Machines' machinery warehouse, along with Paddington Basin. Steel and tube stores, timber and joinery premises and builders' supplies cluster around the basin, revealing a working waterside devoted to materials, storage and repair. This industrial landscape has since given way to the offices, homes and restaurants of Merchant Square, with a floating park occupying part of the basin itself. These working plans were used to price fire risk, and pasted slips kept them current as uses changed, layouts altered and buildings fell and rose. The latest dated corrections, from February 1970, mark premises at 4-8 Praed Street as vacant and include further vacancy labels on Edgware Road. The sheet was resurveyed and reissued in August 1945, with a 1951 copyright date, and a South London key plan from the same group records corrections to March 1971. Other streets on the sheet include Harrow Road, Church Street, Irongate Wharf Road, North Wharf Road and Paddington Green.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Antiquemapsandprints.com","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54371817128283,"sku":"P-9-001285","price":210.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0923\/9583\/1643\/files\/P-9-001285a_0e8dfaba-de79-497e-94f3-ed66f98cad0d.jpg?v=1792149434"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.antiquemapsandprints.com\/fr\/collections\/edgware-road.oembed","provider":"Antiquemapsandprints.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
