Charles Goad Insurance Plan of London, sheet 402 [Camden: Royal College Street, St Pancras Way, Regent's Canal and the Royal Veterinary College]
Goad's fire insurance plan of London, sheet 402, covers Camden between Royal College Street, St Pancras Way and Regent's Canal (NW1). The plan is anchored by the Royal Veterinary College, which was founded in 1791 and still teaches here, with the Beaumont Sainsbury Animal Hospital alongside it today. Next door, the sheet shows St Pancras Hospital, which was run under University College Hospital from 1948 and gave up two acres in 2023 for Oriel, the Moorfields and UCL eye centre planned for 2027. Around the college and the hospital, the sheet records what was then a district of handling and distribution. It names the London Midland Region goods depot, the Post Office transport depot, the Central Metal Storage warehouses, the Atlantic Metal Company and London Electricity Board premises. Derelict coal-chute ground by Camley Street became Camley Street Natural Park in 1985, and the London Electricity Board itself was privatised in 1990. Such plans were used to price fire risk, and they were kept current by slips pasted over changed uses, altered layouts, demolition and new building. On this sheet, vacancy labels dated February 1970 are the latest dated correction identified. The printed base heading is dated March 1891, with a 1951 copyright date, and a key plan for South London from the same group records corrections to March 1971. Other streets on the sheet include Baynes Street, Georgiana Street, Pratt Street and Plender Street.
