Charles Goad Insurance Plan of London, sheet 260 [Waterloo Station, Waterloo Road, Lower Marsh and the Union Jack Club]
Goad's fire insurance plan of London, sheet 260, covers Waterloo Station and Lower Marsh (SE1), and it shows the Union Jack Club in its old building, which was demolished from 1971 and replaced in 1975. Around the station and Waterloo Underground station, the sheet also shows St John the Evangelist Church, the Daily Mirror Newspapers Ltd printing works, J. Sandell timber stores, Munro House and Elizabeth House. Bottling, engineering, repairs and storage around the railway extend this picture beyond the newspaper works and timber yard, showing the station's role in a working industrial neighbourhood. The arches at Leake Street have since acquired restaurants, bars and entertainment venues, with street art giving former service spaces a new public life. The church was restored after bomb damage in 1940 as the Festival of Britain church of 1951. Elizabeth House survives today and is the subject of 2026 proposals to convert it to hotels and homes. A G.L.C. school label at Baylis Road follows the 1965 reorganisation, when the London County Council was abolished. Goad kept these insurers' plans current with pasted slips recording changes of use, new layouts, clearances and rebuilding. The printed base heading is dated June 1889, with a 1950 copyright date. The latest dated correction is a vacancy note of March 1971 on an arch by the station's maintenance workshop, and a key plan acquired with the group also records corrections to March 1971. Other streets on the sheet include Waterloo Road, York Road, Tenison Way, Stamford Street, Cornwall Road, Exton Street, Sandell Street, The Cut, Baylis Road, Westminster Bridge Road, Leake Street and Murphy Street.
