Charles Goad Insurance Plan of London, sheet 244 [Bankside: Blackfriars Road, Hopton Street, Hopton's Almshouses and Blackfriars railway goods depot — uncoloured outline]
Goad's uncoloured outline fire insurance plan of London, sheet 244, covers Bankside around Hopton Street (SE1), where the Southern Region Railway goods depot outline shows how much land railway freight held beside Blackfriars Bridge. The depot opened in 1864 as the London, Chatham and Dover Railway's Blackfriars Bridge station and was goods-only after 1886. It is now part of the Bankside Yards redevelopment, which is bringing offices, homes and new uses for the surviving railway arches, while Hopton's Almshouses of 1746–49 are still lived in. The sheet's Albion Wharf shares its name with the Albion Mills of 1786, the first steam-powered commercial flour mill in the United Kingdom. The mill stood at the Southwark end of Blackfriars Bridge until fire gutted it in 1791. Foundry Wharf, Falcon Wharf, Holland Wharf and Falcon Draw Dock then lined the River Thames. Outline editions served fire-risk assessment with footprints and plot divisions rather than occupancies. Later coloured revisions, which were kept current with pasted slips, add railway-arch uses, car parking and Southwark Street vacancy information. This outline edition was reissued in February 1950, and no later pasted building corrections have been identified on it. The key plans acquired with it were still being corrected in March 1971. Other streets on the sheet include Blackfriars Road, Burrell Street and Bear Lane.
