Campbell Buildings were railway dwellings of about 1890 for railway employees, and they were demolished in the early 1980s. The G.L.C. workshops and offices shown here maintained vehicles and municipal services. Morley College, founded in 1889, was rebuilt in 1958 after the Blitz destroyed its Victorian building, and it merged with Kensington and Chelsea College in 2020. Christ Church, also shown on the sheet, still keeps its Lincoln Tower of 1876, which was half paid for by Americans, and the sheet names St George's R.C. Primary School and Lambeth police station as well. Goad kept these underwriters' plans current with pasted overlays recording changed uses, revised layouts, demolition and new building. The printed base heading is dated June 1889, with a 1950 copyright date. The latest dated correction is an under-construction note of March 1971 on the G.L.C. garage and flats in block 2620, and a key plan acquired with the group also records corrections to March 1971. Other streets on the sheet include Baylis Road, Frazier Street, Pearman Street, Webber Street, Webber Row, Gray Street, Gerridge Street, Kennington Road, King Edward Walk, St George's Road and Burdett Street.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Antiquemapsandprints.com","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54371803300187,"sku":"P-9-001258","price":180.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0923\/9583\/1643\/files\/P-9-001258a_f751832b-d5a8-4ed2-84d4-b3a1c1c6c396.jpg?v=1792149368"},{"product_id":"goad-london-268b-se1-waterloo-morley-college-baylis-road-mi6-hq-1889-c1971-map-p-9-001259","title":"Goad London 268B—SE1—Waterloo—Morley College—Baylis Road—MI6 HQ 1889 (c1971) map","description":"\u003cp align=\"left\"\u003eCharles Goad Insurance Plan of London, sheet 268B [Westminster Bridge Road, Waterloo Road, Baylis Road and Morley College]\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 268B, covers Morley College and Westminster Bridge Road in Lambeth (SE1), and it hides a secret in plain sight. Century House, which the sheet labels simply as offices, was MI6's headquarters from 1964 until the service moved to Vauxhall Cross in 1994. By 2003 it had become the Perspective apartments, as state secrets gave way to private homes. Morley College, where Gustav Holst directed the music from 1907 to 1924, appears in its rebuilt postwar complex. The Church Missionary Society offices and chapel then stood nearby, and the society itself left London for Oxford in 2007. On a nineteenth-century base plan overlaid with postwar redevelopment, the sheet also shows Christ Church and Upton Chapel, Lambeth police station and the Campbell Buildings railway dwellings, which were cleared in the early 1980s. Goad's fire-risk plans were kept current with pasted amendments for new uses, changed layouts, demolitions and new construction. The printed base heading is dated June 1889, with a 1950 copyright date. Pasted revisions are present, but none on this sheet carries a date. A key plan acquired with the group records corrections to March 1971.
