Charles Goad Insurance Plan of London, sheet 288 [Walworth Road, railway coal depot, Southwark Town Hall and Newington Public Library — uncoloured outline]
Goad's uncoloured outline fire insurance plan of London, sheet 288, covers Walworth Road (SE17) around Southwark Town Hall and Newington Public Library, which appear here under their original printed labels. Together they form today's Walworth Town Hall, which opened as Newington Vestry Hall in 1865, was unroofed by fire in March 2013 and reopened at the turn of 2025 with workspace, community rooms and a café. On the sheet, undated pasted changes run along Walworth Road opposite them, south of Amelia Street and Larcom Street, and on Browning Street, where Robert Browning was baptised in its chapel. A separate Baptist Chapel is labelled between Heygate Street and Wansey Street; the plan also names the Midland Railway coal depot and the South Eastern and Chatham Railway. Later coloured revisions identify the London Borough of Southwark municipal offices and record motor-related uses and clearance. Made for fire insurance, outline plans of this kind show footprints and plots with less occupancy and risk detail than the coloured plans, and they took pasted overlays to record new uses, demolition and rebuilding. The printed base heading is dated June 1901, and a key plan acquired with the group records corrections to March 1971. Other streets on the sheet include Steedman Street, Heygate Street, Crampton Street, Wansey Street, Ethel Street, Manor Place and Colworth Grove.
