Charles Goad Insurance Plan of London, sheet 286 [New Kent Road, Elephant Road, Sayer Street and St Matthew's Church]
Goad's fire insurance plan of London, sheet 286, covers New Kent Road and Sayer Street (SE17 and SE1), then a finely divided neighbourhood that has since been rebuilt twice. The cleared streets south of New Kent Road became the Heygate Estate, which was completed in 1974 and demolished in 2011–14. The land is now Elephant Park, planned for some 3,000 homes around a large park. St Matthew's Church, built in 1867 and demolished in 1992, appears with St Matthew's Hall, and the church's successor now stands on Meadow Row. The sheet also names the Rachel McMillan College annexe, Cranleigh Mission School, Falmouth Chambers, Plymouth Chambers, a Board School, a piano warehouse and the Elephant and Castle railway approaches. Around Chatteris Square, the sheet shows clearance replacing the earlier buildings. The plans were made to help insurers weigh fire risk, and they carried pasted overlays recording new uses, demolition and new building, which here sit beneath a 1901 heading. The printed base heading is dated June 1901, with a 1950 copyright date. The latest dated correction, a New Kent Road vacancy, is from March 1971, matching the key plan acquired with the group. Other streets on the sheet include Arch Street, Falmouth Road, Elephant Road, Lion Street, Gurney Street, Chatteris Road, Ash Street and Deacon Street.
