This March 1965 reissue records the centre, the School of Printing, roundabouts and pedestrian subways, which had replaced the industrial plots around Taylor's Yard, Draper Street and Black Prince Court. That comprehensive redevelopment has itself since been swept away. The centre closed in 2020 and was demolished in 2021 for shops, homes and a London College of Communication campus, which is the planned 2027 home of the former L.C.C. School of Printing and Graphic Arts. The sheet also names Spurgeon's Metropolitan Tabernacle, the London Transport Executive electricity substation, built in 1961 as the Michael Faraday Memorial, and the Elephant and Castle cinema, railway station and Underground station. The cinema later became the Coronet, whose live-music phase ran from 2003 to 2018 and included Justin Timberlake, Mumford \u0026amp; Sons and Tom Jones, who performed in March 2014. That concert venue lay decades ahead of the map; the building was demolished in 2021. These plans were made to assess property and fire risk, and they carry pasted overlays recording new uses, layouts, demolition and rebuilding, although none of the overlays here is dated. The sheet was resurveyed and reissued in March 1965, with a 1965 copyright date, and a key plan for this area acquired with the group records corrections to March 1971. Other streets on the sheet include New Kent Road, Walworth Road, Newington Butts, St George's Road, Elephant Road, Pastor Street and St Gabriel Street.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Antiquemapsandprints.com","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54371799761243,"sku":"P-9-001250","price":220.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0923\/9583\/1643\/files\/P-9-001250a_b8973cd7-2a04-404d-be11-2f8714698022.jpg?v=1792149357","url":"https:\/\/www.antiquemapsandprints.com\/products\/goad-london-256-se1-elephant-castle-metropolitan-tabernacle-1965-c1971-map-p-9-001250","provider":"Antiquemapsandprints.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
