Charles Goad Insurance Plan of London, sheet 236 [Lambeth: St Thomas' Hospital, County Hall, Westminster Bridge Road and Lambeth Palace Road — coloured copy]


Goad's fire insurance plan of London, sheet 236, covers Lambeth (SE1), showing St Thomas' Hospital in the midst of its rebuilding and County Hall on the River Thames. G.L.C. County Hall was then the seat of the Greater London Council and not yet a visitor attraction. The GLC was abolished in 1986 and the London Marriott Hotel County Hall opened in 1998, as the riverfront turned from municipal administration to hospitality. The sheet also names County Hall South Block and St Thomas' House, the students' memorial club of 1927, as well as the Riddell House swimming baths in the nurses' home of 1936–37. The St Thomas' Hospital redevelopment site is labelled as lacking available plans in March 1971, and the hospital's thirteen-storey North Wing followed in 1975. The plan was kept to assess property and fire risk, and it was amended with pasted overlays recording changed uses, altered layouts, demolition and new building. Here those overlays record the clearance and reorganisation of small streets and plots for the enlarged hospital, and the layouts of those streets and plots are preserved in the outline edition reissued in February 1959. The printed base heading is dated June 1889. The latest dated correction identified is March 1971, and the key plan acquired with the same group also records corrections to March 1971. Other streets on the sheet include Lambeth Palace Road, Westminster Bridge Road, Belvedere Road and York Road.

Condition: Good |

Good; suitable for framing. A working sheet from one of the bound Goad volumes historically kept by fire-insurance offices, updated over decades with pasted correction slips. The build-up of correction slips has left the sheet stiff and gently undulating rather than flat, a characteristic of these working plans. There is age toning and light surface soiling, consistent with its long use as a working map. Please check the scan for any blemishes prior to making your purchase. Sheet 235 is printed on the reverse side. Each map is listed as a separate product, but the two maps share a single sheet, so whichever you buy, you receive both. If both maps are ordered together, we will send the sheet and refund the second purchase in full.

Condition Guide

We assess the condition of each item using three categories: Good, Fair, and Poor. We strive to ensure that any significant flaws are clearly shown in the images provided and detailed in the accompanying condition statement.

Good

The item presents well, with no significant flaws, and is in frameable condition. Minor imperfections—such as light spotting or offsetting, small blemishes, tight margins, neatly repaired tears, or discreet/professionally executed restoration—do not materially detract from its overall appearance.

Fair

The item shows noticeable flaws but remains in frameable condition. Some buyers may feel these imperfections affect its visual appeal. Typical issues may include more prominent spotting, blemishes, bleed-through from the reverse, obvious offsetting, visible or extensive restoration, wear along fold lines or junctures, small wormholes, trimmed or closely cropped edges, or less carefully executed repairs.

Poor

The item has major flaws that significantly impact its presentation and/or suitability for framing. These may include heavy spotting, staining, bleed-through, offsetting, unrepaired damage, or poorly executed repairs such as tears, holes, or areas of paper loss (including within the printed image). The item may also be fragile and prone to further deterioration.
