Charles Goad Insurance Plan of London, sheet 264B [Waterloo: The Cut, Blackfriars Road, Waterloo Telephone Exchange and the National Theatre rehearsal rooms]
Goad's enlarged fire insurance plan of London, sheet 264B, covers The Cut, Hatfields and Cornwall Road in Waterloo (SE1), and it catches the Waterloo automatic telephone exchange explicitly under construction in March 1971. The National Theatre Board rehearsal rooms here served the company then resident at the Old Vic, five years before its South Bank theatre opened in 1976. A J. Sainsbury car park marked on the sheet recalls the grocer's head office on nearby Stamford Street, which was the firm's home from 1890 until 2001. At the time, a bottle-stopper factory, the Cornwall Road bus stand, Peabody Buildings and St Andrew and St Thomas Lambeth Church completed the scene. In 1999 Southwark station opened on the Jubilee line at the corner of Blackfriars Road and The Cut. These plans were made for insurers weighing fire risk, and they were updated with pasted slips as occupiers changed, layouts were altered and buildings were cleared or raised. The printed base heading is dated June 1889, with a 1950 copyright date. The latest dated correction on the sheet is March 1971, and a key plan acquired with the group also records corrections to March 1971. Other streets on the sheet include Windmill Walk, Meymott Street, Joan Street, Isabella Street, Aquinas Street, Theed Street, Coin Street, Short Street and Ufford Street.
