Charles Goad Insurance Plan of London, sheet 257 [Westminster Bridge Road, Lower Marsh, Canterbury Music Hall and the Necropolis railway premises — uncoloured outline]
Goad's uncoloured outline fire insurance plan of London, sheet 257, covers Westminster Bridge Road and Lower Marsh in Waterloo (SE1), and it preserves Canterbury Music Hall, which Charles Morton opened in 1852. The hall was bombed in 1942 and demolished in 1955, and its site now holds the Canterbury House flats. Nearby, the sheet shows the London Necropolis and Woking Cemetery Company premises, whose funeral trains ran to Brookwood until the Blitz of 1941, along with the London and South Western Railway, York Road Chapel and artisans' dwellings. The sheet is drawn in outline, with less occupancy and risk detail than the coloured plans, and it keeps the earlier commercial layout. Later coloured revisions show the theatre site as a car park, alongside an older sectional diagram. Risk plans of this kind were updated with pasted slips recording new uses, altered layouts, demolition and rebuilding. The printed base heading is dated June 1889, and no copyright date is visible. Pasted revisions are present, but none of them carries a date. A key plan acquired with the same group records corrections to March 1971. Other streets on the sheet include York Road, Lambeth Palace Road, New Lambeth Palace Road, Stangate Street, Felix Street, Addington Street, Leake Street, Upper Marsh, Finck Street and Carlisle Street.
