Charles Goad Insurance Plan of London, sheet 250 [Southwark Bridge Road, Union Street, Copperfield Street and the fire brigade station]
Goad's fire insurance plan of London, sheet 250, covers Southwark Bridge Road, Mint Street and Lant Street (SE1), and it is centred on the G.L.C. Fire Brigade station and training school. The station closed in January 2014 after 135 years, and the training centre closed in May 2015. The site now holds Brigade Court homes and Haberdashers' Borough Academy, which has been here since September 2020. The Evelina Hospital, which was founded in 1869 and is shown with its nursing school, closed in 1976. The sheet also names All Hallows and St Michael and All Angels churches, Duthy Hall, Trundle House, Waynflete House, Tomline House and the Ministry of Social Security offices. Printing-machinery suppliers, machine shops and engineers around Union Street, with electrical-equipment premises near Mint Street and Trundle Street, reveal a network of production and supply behind the larger institutions. Bankside's later Low Line projects have sought new business and cultural uses for the railway arches, adapting the infrastructure that once supported this industrial quarter. Goad's plans were kept for fire-risk assessment and took pasted overlays, and on this sheet a cleared larger block and updated Mint Street and fire-brigade uses replace the smaller plots of earlier outline editions. Mint Street premises marked vacant in March 1971 are the latest dated correction. The sheet was resurveyed and reissued in November 1952, with a 1952 copyright date, and the key plan acquired with the group records corrections to March 1971. Other streets on the sheet include Union Street, Great Guildford Street, Copperfield Street, Pepper Street, Sawyer Street, Doyce Street, Quilp Street, Leigh Hunt Street, Weller Street, Trundle Street, Marshalsea Road and Clennam Street.
