Charles Goad Insurance Plan of London, sheet 202 [Holborn: High Holborn, Kingsway, Southampton Row and the Central School of Arts and Crafts]
Goad's fire insurance plan of London, sheet 202, covers Holborn where Kingsway meets High Holborn and Southampton Row (WC1 and WC2). The Central School of Arts and Crafts appears here under a name that was dropped in 1966, in the Southampton Row building that its successor, Central Saint Martins, left for King's Cross in 2011. Holy Trinity Church of 1909–11 had closed by 1991 and became the Aviation House offices behind its retained front, whereas the Church of St Anselm and St Cecilia remains a working parish. The Midland Bank is labelled with a name that HSBC retired in 1999, and the sheet also names the London Electricity Board substation and Holborn Underground Station. Goad's sheets were working plans for assessing property and fire risk, and they were kept current with pasted overlays recording changes of use, altered layouts, demolition and new building. On this sheet the latest dated corrections are vacancy annotations of September 1970. The sheet was resurveyed and reissued in August 1944, with a 1950 copyright date, and it belongs to a group whose key plans were still being corrected in October 1970 and March 1971. Other streets on the sheet include Bloomsbury Square, Sicilian Avenue, Vernon Place, Fisher Street, Catton Street, Newton Street, Parker Street, Great Queen Street, Gate Street, New Turnstile and Remnant Street.
