Charles Goad Insurance Plan of London, sheet 247 [Southwark Street, Great Suffolk Street, Lavington Street and Ewer Street goods depot]
Goad's fire insurance plan of London, sheet 247, covers Southwark Street, Great Suffolk Street, Lavington Street and the Ewer Street goods depot (SE1). At the time, St Christopher House, the 1959 government office block, filled the ground beside printing works and railway goods storage. Its site is now Bankside 123, with the Blue Fin Building of 2007, which was built for IPC Media. The goods depot handled continental freight until 1960 and parcels until 1969, and it shared its site with the Ewer Street locomotive stabling point, which opened in 1901 and served its last engine in 1961. The sheet also records Southwark Offset's printing works, Thorburn Bain's paper and stationery warehouses, Tabard House, Lamson House and the Southern Region Railway arches. Goad's working plans were made to assess property and fire risk, and they were kept current with pasted overlays recording changed uses, altered layouts, demolition and rebuilding. On this sheet they update the old industrial plot pattern around Lavington Street, and the latest dated correction, of March 1971, labels Southwark Street premises near Granby House vacant. The sheet was resurveyed and reissued in January 1956, with a 1956 copyright date, and the key plan acquired with the group records corrections to March 1971. Other streets on the sheet include Union Street, Zoar Street and Farnham Place.
