Charles Goad Insurance Plan of London, sheet 284–285 [Albert Embankment, Vauxhall Walk, Glasshouse Walk and the Guinness Trust Buildings]
Goad's fire insurance plan of London, sheet 284–285, covers Vauxhall between Albert Embankment and Vauxhall Walk (SE1 and SE11), where furniture-making, lift engineering and haulage then worked beside the railway viaduct and its arches. H. Myer and Company's bedstead and upholstery works combined metalwork, springs and soft furnishings, and the Bennie Lifts workshops, A. Pannell's haulage premises and Melbourne Works stood close by. The street names reach further back. Glasshouse Walk recalls the eighteenth-century Vauxhall glassworks and Tyers Street the family who ran Vauxhall Gardens, while Tinworth Street, together with the Tinworth House shown on the sheet, recalls the Doulton sculptor George Tinworth. The Guinness Trust Buildings of 1893 were demolished in the mid-1970s, and the cleared ground became Spring Gardens, the park that opened in 1976 on the old pleasure-gardens site. Mountain House is named on the sheet as well. Goad issued these plans to underwriters assessing fire risk and revised them with pasted slips recording changes of use, altered layouts, demolition and rebuilding. The printed base heading is dated June 1889, with a 1950 copyright date. Vacancy labels dated March 1971 are the latest correction identified, matching the key plan acquired with the group. Other streets on the sheet include Laud Street.
