Charles Goad Insurance Plan of London, sheet 252 [Borough High Street, Great Dover Street, Trinity Church Square and the South-Eastern District Post Office]
Goad's fire insurance plan of London, sheet 252, covers Borough off Great Dover Street (SE1), centred on Trinity Church Square and Merrick Square. Trinity House laid out the squares in 1824–32 and 1853–56 and still owns them, and today their terraces are listed and the Merrick Square gardens are railed. Behind the frontages then worked the Tower Pill & Tablet Co., manufacturing chemists, a tin-box and canister factory, and the sorting office's loading banks and garages. The Keymarkets offices, Shere House, Redman House and Silvester Buildings were there too, and the Keymarkets chain was absorbed into Gateway in 1983. On this sheet, the consolidated South Eastern District Post Office site, tenements and playground space replace smaller commercial plots, which marks a substantial change in the Borough High Street district. Goad's plans were made to assess property and fire risk, and they took pasted overlays recording new uses, layouts, demolition and rebuilding. The latest dated correction is a March 1971 vacancy annotation in block 2414. The sheet was resurveyed and reissued in December 1946, with a 1950 copyright date, and 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, Lant Street and Great Suffolk Street.
