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.
