Charles Goad Insurance Plan of London, sheet 218 [Soho: Golden Square, Beak Street, Carnaby Street and Brewer Street]
Goad's fire insurance plan of London, sheet 218, covers Soho between Golden Square and Broadwick Street (W1). The sheet shows hat and gown factories on Great Pulteney Street, a shirt factory and woollen warehouses around Golden Square. Clothes were then made and stocked here as well as sold, behind streets now better known for restaurants. Granada Group Ltd then occupied Nos 34–36 Golden Square, a wool merchants' block of 1914 that is now M&C Saatchi's, and Jaeger Ltd's showroom is also named. The Police Section House shown on Broadwick Street is Trenchard House of 1938–40. On Sherwood Street, the Regent Palace Hotel annexe served Europe's largest hotel of 1915, which closed in 2006 and was largely demolished for Quadrant 3. The annexe itself was converted into Quadrant 4 apartments in 2017, retaining its street façades. Goad's plans were drawn to assess property and fire risk, and they were updated with pasted overlays recording new uses, altered layouts, demolition and rebuilding. The latest dated correction, October 1970, marks a vacancy at the corner of Lexington Street and Brewer Street. The sheet was resurveyed and reissued in November 1948, with a 1948 copyright date, and the key plan acquired with this group records corrections to October 1970. Other streets on the sheet include Carnaby Street, Beak Street, Marshall Street, Bridle Lane, Upper John Street, Lower John Street, Great Windmill Street and Peter Street.
