Charles Goad Insurance Plan of London, sheet 240 [South Bank: Waterloo Bridge, the National Film Theatre, Upper Ground and H.M. Stationery Office — uncoloured outline]
Goad's uncoloured outline fire insurance plan of London, sheet 240, covers the South Bank at Upper Ground (SE1) on its December 1925 framework, and it records Cornwall House in its H.M. Stationery Office setting. Built between 1912 and 1915 for the Stationery Office, the block is now King's College London's Franklin-Wilkins Building, and it links the area's government supply functions with its later university teaching and research. In the sheet's day, Bridge Wharf, Letts Wharf and the riverside draw docks marked the working frontage on the River Thames, and the sheet also names Post Office telephones. The pasted National Film Theatre outline beneath Waterloo Bridge corresponds to the venue that opened in 1957, which has been BFI Southbank since 2007. That outline is the latest alteration identified, and it represents a correction of about 1957 or later to the 1925 framework. Outline plans record footprints and plot divisions with less detail of occupancy and risk than the coloured plans, which assessors kept current with pasted overlays recording new uses, altered layouts and rebuilding. Later coloured revisions of the plan record further clearance towards the National Theatre site. The key plan acquired with the same group records corrections to March 1971. Other streets on the sheet include Waterloo Road, Doon Street, Cornwall Road, Stamford Street and Belvedere Road.
