Charles Goad Insurance Plan of London, sheet 201 [Bloomsbury Square, Bloomsbury Way, Great Russell Street and St George's Bloomsbury]
Goad's fire insurance plan of London, sheet 201, covers Bloomsbury Square and St George's Church Bloomsbury (WC1), Hawksmoor's church of 1716–31, which was restored and reopened in 2006. The sheet catches the area on the brink of change, as the Co-op Permanent Building Society offices it marks belonged to a society that was renamed Nationwide in 1970, the year of the last corrections. It also marks the YWCA premises, and change soon reached Bloomsbury Square itself, which was dug up for an underground car park in 1971–73. The White Hall Hotel is shown occupying James Burton's Montague Street terrace of 1803–06, and the sheet also names Bloomsbury Mansions and the British Museum frontage on Great Russell Street. Goad's working plans were compiled to rate property and fire risk, and they carry pasted overlays recording changed uses, altered layouts, demolition and new construction. On this sheet, vacancy annotations are dated October 1968, and the latest dated correction, of September 1970, is a vacancy note at 131–132 High Holborn. The sheet was resurveyed and reissued in August 1944, with a 1950 copyright date, and the key plans acquired with the group were corrected as late as October 1970 and March 1971. Other streets on the sheet include Bedford Place, Bloomsbury Way, Museum Street, Little Russell Street, Bury Place, New Oxford Street, Barter Street and Southampton Place.
