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.

Condition: Good |

Good; suitable for framing. A working sheet from one of the bound Goad volumes historically kept by fire-insurance offices, updated over decades with pasted correction slips. The build-up of correction slips has left the sheet stiff and gently undulating rather than flat, a characteristic of these working plans. There is age toning and light surface soiling, consistent with its long use as a working map. Please check the scan for any blemishes prior to making your purchase. Sheet 245 is printed on the reverse side. Each map is listed as a separate product, but the two maps share a single sheet, so whichever you buy, you receive both. If both maps are ordered together, we will send the sheet and refund the second purchase in full.

Condition Guide

We assess the condition of each item using three categories: Good, Fair, and Poor. We strive to ensure that any significant flaws are clearly shown in the images provided and detailed in the accompanying condition statement.

Good

The item presents well, with no significant flaws, and is in frameable condition. Minor imperfections—such as light spotting or offsetting, small blemishes, tight margins, neatly repaired tears, or discreet/professionally executed restoration—do not materially detract from its overall appearance.

Fair

The item shows noticeable flaws but remains in frameable condition. Some buyers may feel these imperfections affect its visual appeal. Typical issues may include more prominent spotting, blemishes, bleed-through from the reverse, obvious offsetting, visible or extensive restoration, wear along fold lines or junctures, small wormholes, trimmed or closely cropped edges, or less carefully executed repairs.

Poor

The item has major flaws that significantly impact its presentation and/or suitability for framing. These may include heavy spotting, staining, bleed-through, offsetting, unrepaired damage, or poorly executed repairs such as tears, holes, or areas of paper loss (including within the printed image). The item may also be fragile and prone to further deterioration.
