Charles Goad Insurance Plan of London, sheet 257 [Westminster Bridge Road, Lower Marsh, Lambeth Palace Road and the Canterbury Theatre of Varieties (section)]
Goad's coloured fire insurance plan of London, sheet 257, covers Westminster Bridge Road and Lower Marsh in Waterloo (SE1), where, by the time of this sheet, the G.L.C. County Hall annexe offices had spread inland. They stood beside St Thomas' Hospital offices, railway stores and the Waterloo railway approaches. The island site between York Road and Westminster Bridge Road is still blank on this sheet. The County Hall Island Block rose there in the 1970s and emptied in 1986. It was demolished in 2006 and replaced in 2010 by the Park Plaza Westminster Bridge hotel, as civic offices yielded to visitors. The main Canterbury Music Hall site is shown as a car park, although the sheet keeps an older sectional diagram of the Canterbury Theatre of Varieties. The Canterbury House flats now stand on that site. Surveyors kept these risk plans working with pasted slips for changed uses, altered layouts, demolitions and new building. The printed base heading is dated June 1889, with a 1950 copyright date, and the latest dated correction on the sheet is March 1971. A key plan covering this area, acquired with the same group of maps, likewise records corrections to March 1971. Other streets on the sheet include York Road, Lambeth Palace Road, Stangate, Addington Street, Leake Street, Upper Marsh, Finck Street and Carlisle Lane.
