Charles Goad Insurance Plan of London, sheet 243 [Blackfriars Road, Stamford Street, Upper Ground and Christ Church Southwark — uncoloured outline]
Goad's uncoloured outline fire insurance plan of London, sheet 243, covers the Southwark end of Blackfriars Bridge and Stamford Street (SE1), where it shows Christ Church on Blackfriars Road and Stamford House, which was Sainsbury's headquarters until 2001. Stamford House was demolished in 2003 and replaced by the fifty-storey One Blackfriars tower of 2018, while Christ Church, bombed out in 1941, was rebuilt in 1958–59. In the sheet's day, Bull Stairs Wharf, Hope Wharf, Fleet Wharf, Jamaica Wharf, Rennie's Upper Wharf, Blackfriars Wharf and Milroy Wharf lined the River Thames frontage. Pasted slips near the bridge and Stamford House show a few large buildings, while denser small-plot footprints survive on the sheet around Upper Ground and Boddy's Bridge. Outline editions served fire-risk assessment with footprints and plot divisions rather than occupancies, and they were kept current with pasted slips recording new uses, demolition and rebuilding. Later coloured revisions show riverfront clearance and a demolition proposal dated March 1971. The sheet bears a December 1925 reprint date, and no correction on it carries a date. Key plans acquired with the group were still being corrected in March 1971. Other streets on the sheet include Hatfields, Paris Garden and Rennie Street.
