The North London Railway opened the station in 1865, and goods traffic ended in January 1969, while the sheet was in use. The station closed on 30 June 1986, but its buildings were already coming down from late 1985 to make way for Broadgate, as offices spread over former railway land. The Metropolitan Railway platforms shown on the sheet still serve the Circle line at Liverpool Street. All Hallows on the Wall Church, George Dance the Younger's work of 1767, survives and is listed Grade I. London Wall Buildings of 1901, Finsbury House and Park House are also listed and still stand. Goad's plans were drawn to price fire risk and kept current with pasted overlays recording changed uses, altered layouts, demolition and new building, though no correction here is dated. The sheet was resurveyed and reissued in September 1947, with a 1949 copyright date, and it belongs to a group whose key plans were still being corrected in October 1970 and March 1971. Other streets on the sheet include Eldon Street, Liverpool Street, Blomfield Street, Old Broad Street, New Broad Street and London Wall.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Antiquemapsandprints.com","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54371709714779,"sku":"P-9-001113","price":230.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0923\/9583\/1643\/files\/P-9-001113a_3174c854-e127-4930-a333-29f044121bd9.jpg?v=1792149003"},{"product_id":"goad-london-73-ec2-liverpool-street-station-great-eastern-hotel-1935-c1969-map-p-9-001131","title":"Goad London 73—EC2—Liverpool Street Station—Great Eastern Hotel 1935 (c1969) map","description":"\u003cp align=\"left\"\u003eCharles Goad Insurance Plan of London, sheet 73 [Liverpool Street Station, Bishopsgate, Old Broad Street and the Great Eastern Hotel]\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp align=\"left\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp align=\"left\"\u003e\u003cem\u003eGoad's fire insurance plan of London, sheet 73, covers Liverpool Street Station (EC2), the terminus of 1874 that is now Britain's busiest station, with 98 million passengers in 2024–25. The station was rebuilt in 1985–91 together with Broadgate, which now occupies the site of Broad Street station, itself closed in 1986. The Elizabeth line arrived beside Liverpool Street Underground Station in 2022, and in February 2026 the City approved plans for an office block above the concourse. The Great Eastern Hotel of 1884 reopened in March 2000 after Conran's restoration and became the Andaz on 16 November 2007. St Botolph Bishopsgate, where Keats was baptised in 1795, was damaged by the 1993 bomb, and Dashwood House was rebuilt in 1976. The Commercial Cable Company offices shown here served the transatlantic telegraph whose cables worked until 1962. Plans like this were made for fire-risk assessment, and they carry pasted slips recording new occupiers, altered layouts, demolition and rebuilding, although none of the revisions pasted on this sheet carries a date. Reissued in August 1935, with a 1949 copyright date, the sheet belongs to a group whose key plans were still being corrected in October 1970 and March 1971. Other streets on the sheet include Bishopsgate, Old Broad Street, Wormwood Street, Alderman's Walk and Bishopsgate Churchyard.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Antiquemapsandprints.com","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54371726426459,"sku":"P-9-001131","price":220.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0923\/9583\/1643\/files\/P-9-001131a_e63a6c9e-f958-4a35-bc61-23f250a114fa.jpg?v=1792149044"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.antiquemapsandprints.com\/collections\/broad-street-buildings.oembed","provider":"Antiquemapsandprints.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
