Charles Goad Insurance Plan of London, sheet 28 [Victoria Embankment, Tudor Street, Carmelite Street and the Guildhall School of Music]
Goad's fire insurance plan of London, sheet 28, covers Victoria Embankment, Tudor Street and Temple Avenue (EC4), and it shows the Daily Mail's works in full production. At the time, Associated Newspapers' machine rooms, linotype departments and paper stores at Carmelite House and New Carmelite House made newspaper production a heavy industry on the River Thames. The presses ran until the late 1980s, when the paper moved to Kensington. Publishing keeps a foothold here today, though without the machinery, through Hachette's headquarters at Carmelite House. The sheet also names the United Newspapers premises, Temple House and Audit House. The Guildhall School of Music is shown in its building of 1886 on John Carpenter Street, which it left for the Barbican in 1977. Sion College closed its library and left the Embankment in 1996, and its building is now offices. The plan was made to rate property and fire risk and was kept current with pasted slips marking changed uses, altered layouts, demolition and rebuilding, though none of the slips is dated. The sheet was resurveyed and reissued in January 1946, with a 1950 copyright date, and the key plans acquired with the group were corrected as late as October 1970 and March 1971. Other streets on the sheet include Tallis Street, Carmelite Street and King's Bench Walk.
