Charles Goad Insurance Plan of London, sheet 237 [Waterloo: County Hall, York Road, Belvedere Road and the General Lying-in Hospital — uncoloured outline]


Goad's uncoloured outline fire insurance plan of London, sheet 237, covers Waterloo between County Hall and York Road (SE1), where the General Lying-in Hospital then stood beside the Southern Region railway approaches. The hospital occupied this York Road building from 1828 until it closed in 1971. Since 2013 the building has formed part of the Premier Inn London Waterloo hotel, and hospital accommodation has become accommodation for visitors. Leake Street, the tunnel under the platforms, has been a legal graffiti gallery since Banksy's Cans Festival of May 2008. The sheet also draws the L.C.C. County Hall outline and County Hall North Block. This outline edition, reissued in February 1959, gives footprints and plot divisions with less occupancy and risk detail than the coloured plans. Goad's plans were used to assess property and fire risk, and they were amended with pasted overlays as uses changed and buildings altered. This copy carries one undated slip, at the Addington Street end of block 2272, while later coloured revisions add County Hall and Shell detail and record construction within County Hall in March 1971. The key plan acquired with the same group records corrections to March 1971. Other streets on the sheet include Belvedere Road, Chicheley Street, Griffin Street and Commercial Place.

Insurance Plan of London, Volume X. Charles E. Goad, London.

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 236 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.
