Charles Goad Insurance Plan of London, sheet 252 [Borough High Street, Great Dover Street, Trinity Church Square and Merrick Square — uncoloured outline]
Goad's uncoloured outline fire insurance plan of London, sheet 252, covers Borough between Borough High Street and Great Dover Street (SE1). It shows the Trinity Church Square terraces and the Merrick Square gardens, both of which are still owned by Trinity House. Trinity Church Square's King Alfred statue was found in 2021 to be a Roman figure of about AD 80–130 below the waist. In Lant Street the boy Dickens lodged in 1824 while his father was in the Marshalsea. Among the back ways the sheet shows are Avon Place, Hulme Place and Swan Yard. Reissued in December 1943, this outline records streets, footprints and plot divisions with less occupancy and risk detail than the coloured plans. It preserves smaller commercial plots that later coloured revisions show replaced by the consolidated South Eastern District Post Office site, tenements and playground space. Goad's working plans existed to price property and fire risk, and pasted overlays kept them current with changes of use, altered layouts, demolition and new building. A key plan for this area acquired with the group records corrections to March 1971. Other streets on the sheet include Trinity Street, Globe Street, Cole Street, Swan Street, Tabard Street, Long Lane and Great Suffolk Street.
