This is the \"obsolete\" edition, which records the new London Wall road and car park under construction in November 1959 through an older warehouse district. The sheet shows Battersby's hat warehouse, cotton-yarn premises and a railway goods shed north of the new road. These details evoke the trading and distribution quarter that was then being swept away around Silver Street, Monkwell Street, Castle Street, Fell Street, Nicholl Square and Wood Street Square. Barbers' Hall, burnt out in 1940, reopened on Monkwell Square in 1969, and St Anne and St Agnes church is now the VOCES8 Centre. The sheet also names Haberdashers' Hall, the Metropolitan Telephone Exchange, the Nestle offices, St Mary Staining churchyard and Northern House. The plan was made for fire-risk assessment and updated with pasted overlays recording changes of use, altered layouts, demolition and new building. This sheet was reissued in November 1932, with a 1949 copyright date, and its latest dated correction is from November 1959. The replacement edition of November 1960, which shows larger office blocks, Lee House, Monkwell Square and the rebuilt Barbers' Hall, places the end of this sheet's regular updating at about 1960. Other streets on the sheet include St Martin's-le-Grand, Gresham Street, Wood Street, Oat Lane and Staining Lane.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Antiquemapsandprints.com","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54371754344795,"sku":"P-9-001188","price":190.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0923\/9583\/1643\/files\/P-9-001188a_6490505f-5e60-461e-89e7-a406c30c45f0.jpg?v=1792090522"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.antiquemapsandprints.com\/collections\/barbers-hall.oembed","provider":"Antiquemapsandprints.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
