Charles Goad Insurance Plan of London, sheet 251 [Borough High Street, Marshalsea Road and Red Cross Way]
Goad's fire insurance plan of London, sheet 251, covers Borough High Street, Marshalsea Road and Red Cross Way (SE1), and it reveals what was then a district of production and wholesale supply. The sheet shows Nettlefold's iron warehouses, Smith Kendon's manufacturing chemists and paper stores near Lant Street, with St Joseph's Roman Catholic School and housing then interwoven among them. Lant Street itself is where the boy Dickens lodged in 1824. On this sheet, the enlarged school, its open grounds and Babington House flats replace part of the earlier pattern of small courts and warehouses. The sheet also names Stanhope Buildings, Mowbray Buildings, Douglas Buildings, Brent's Court and Vine Yard. Goad's plans were made to assess property and fire risk, and they took pasted overlays recording changed uses, demolition and rebuilding. The latest dated correction, of March 1971, marks premises in Ayres Street, Red Cross Way, Disney Place and Disney Street vacant. The sheet was resurveyed and reissued in December 1946, with a 1950 copyright date, and the key plan acquired with the group records corrections to March 1971. Other streets on the sheet include Mint Street, Sanctuary Street, Weller Street, Quilp Street and Caleb Street.
