Charles Goad Insurance Plan of London, sheet 240 [South Bank: Waterloo Bridge, Upper Ground, National Theatre site and National Film Theatre]
Goad's fire insurance plan of London, sheet 240, covers the South Bank at Upper Ground and Stamford Street (SE1). Here the cleared plot marked as the National Theatre site was then still awaiting Denys Lasdun's building of 1969–76, which was listed Grade II* in 1994. On the sheet, Cornwall House is still labelled for H.M. Stationery Office and government offices, with Post Office telephones also marked, and the building is now King's College London's Franklin-Wilkins Building. The Royal Waterloo Hospital for Children and Women, which closed in 1976, is now student accommodation, and these two changes, at Cornwall House and the hospital, show this stretch becoming a district of culture and education. These plans were made to assess property and fire risk, and they took pasted overlays recording changes of use, altered layouts, demolition and new building, while earlier outline editions keep more of the wharf layout. The National Film Theatre beneath Waterloo Bridge, which opened in 1957, is the latest alteration identified, and it indicates an amended state of about 1957 or later. The printed base heading is dated June 1889, with a 1950 copyright date, and no later correction carries a date. The key plan acquired with the same group records corrections to March 1971. Other streets on the sheet include Doon Street and Cornwall Road, with the Waterloo Bridge Southern Approach beside the River Thames.
