Charles Goad Insurance Plan of London, sheet 280B [Lambeth High Street, Albert Embankment, Black Prince Road and the London Fire Brigade headquarters]
Goad's fire insurance plan of London, sheet 280B, covers the Lambeth riverside (SE1 and SE11), which was then home to the London Fire Brigade headquarters. The headquarters, which George VI opened in 1937, served the brigade until 2007–08 and still houses Lambeth fire station. Plans approved in October 2026 will bring the headquarters back, with a home for the brigade's historic collection. Southbank House, which the sheet already labels as offices, survives from Doulton's complex, whose pottery closed in 1956, and it is now China Works. The sheet names the Doulton showrooms and Memorial Hall, and it keeps vacancy notes dated May 1968 on earlier Doulton premises. The Metropolitan Police stores and workshops and the Metropolitan Police laboratories are shown under construction in March 1971, beside the G.L.C. Fire Brigade workshops. Lambeth Bridge House, the government offices of 1940, gave way to the Parliament View apartments in the late 1990s. Pasted overlays on these fire-risk plans logged changes of use, demolition and new construction. The printed base heading is dated June 1889, with a 1950 copyright date, and the latest dated correction identified is March 1971, matching the key plan acquired with the group. Other streets on the sheet include Albert Embankment, Lambeth High Street, Lambeth Road, Norfolk Row, Whitgift Street, Black Prince Road and Salamanca Street.
