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. Other streets on the sheet include Park Street, Canvey Street and Zoar Street.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Antiquemapsandprints.com","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54371780395355,"sku":"P-9-001229","price":260.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0923\/9583\/1643\/files\/P-9-001229a_a1f5129c-e9ba-4387-b12e-0233b159607c.jpg?v=1792149299"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.antiquemapsandprints.com\/fr\/collections\/st-christopher-house.oembed","provider":"Antiquemapsandprints.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
