Charles Goad Insurance Plan of London, sheet 237 [Waterloo: County Hall, York Road, Belvedere Road and the Shell Centre]
Goad's fire insurance plan of London, sheet 237, covers Waterloo around County Hall and York Road (SE1), and it names what went on inside the buildings. G.L.C. County Hall appears with its conference hall and library, alongside County Hall North Block and the annex offices, the Shell offices with their theatre and swimming pool, the General Lying-in Hospital and the Waterloo railway arches. Shell's theatre and pool went when the Shell Centre's lower wings were cleared for Southbank Place in 2015, though the tower still stands. The General Lying-in Hospital closed in 1971, and its maternity premises now form part of the Premier Inn London Waterloo hotel. The Greater London Council, which occupied County Hall, was abolished in 1986, and the building now houses hotels and attractions. The medical, civic and corporate facilities here preceded today's substantial visitor economy. The plan was kept current for property and fire-risk assessment with pasted overlays recording changed uses, altered layouts, demolition and new building. It records construction within County Hall in March 1971, which is its latest dated correction and a detail the outline edition lacks. The sheet was resurveyed and reissued in February 1959, with a 1959 copyright date, and the key plan acquired with the same group records corrections to March 1971. Other streets on the sheet include Belvedere Road, Chicheley Street, Addington Street and Leake Street.
