The Company was chartered in 1537 and is the British Army's oldest regiment. Its headquarters, Armoury House of 1735, is drawn with the Albert Room, the drill hall of 1862 that was bombed by the IRA on 9 June 1990, and the Company remains there. The sheet also names the GPO Regional Training School, Peabody Buildings, Chequer School for Girls, St Joseph's RC School, Bunhill Row Recreation Ground and City University Northampton Hall. Northampton Hall, the university's first hall of residence, opened in 1964. St Joseph's school closed in 1977, though its church of 1901 continues. Bunhill Row itself now houses Slaughter and May and City's Bayes Business School. Printers and furriers around Dufferin Street, a plastics factory and warehouses for toys and spices show the earlier mixture of making and storing goods behind this frontage. Their presence gives a measure of the area's change towards the legal and educational employment now represented on Bunhill Row. The sheet was compiled for assessing property and fire risk, and it carries pasted amendments recording changes of use, new layouts, demolition and building, with March 1970 as the latest dated correction. Resurveyed and reissued in June 1960, with a 1960 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 Chequer Street, Dufferin Avenue, Errol Street, Cahill Street and Roscoe Street.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Antiquemapsandprints.com","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54371735634267,"sku":"P-9-001143","price":180.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0923\/9583\/1643\/files\/P-9-001143a_0da3f3c2-be32-428e-87de-809038cffeb5.jpg?v=1792149076"},{"product_id":"goad-london-140-ec1-finsbury-bath-old-streets-bunhill-row-1948-1970-map-p-9-001146","title":"Goad London 140—EC1—Finsbury—Bath \u0026 Old Streets—Bunhill Row 1948 (1970) map","description":"\u003cp align=\"left\"\u003eCharles Goad Insurance Plan of London, sheet 140 [Old Street, Bunhill Row, Bath Street and Bartholomew Square]\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 140, covers Old Street, Bartholomew Square and Bunhill Row (EC1), a quarter whose names carry two lost landmarks. Bath Street and Peerless Street recall Peerless Pool, London's first outdoor public swimming bath, which was opened by the jeweller William Kemp in 1743 and built over after 1850. Quaker Court, meanwhile, recalls the Quaker burial ground off Banner Street. The ground was used from 1661 to 1855 and has held George Fox's grave since 1691. Its Memorial Buildings were largely destroyed in 1944, and in 1965 the ground was laid out within the GLC's Banner Street estate as today's Quaker Gardens. The sheet also names Godfrey House, Paterson Court and Newland Court, together with a child welfare centre and a surgical-instrument works. Typesetters, printers, clothing factories and engravers around Old Street, Banner Street and Bartholomew Square reveal a wider concentration of skilled manufacture. The later growth of design studios and digital businesses across Clerkenwell and Old Street marks a change from producing physical goods towards designing products and handling information. Compiled so that insurers could rate property and fire risk, the plan carries pasted slips recording changed uses, new layouts, demolition and building, and its latest dated correction is March 1970. Resurveyed and reissued in June 1948, with a 1950 copyright date, the sheet belongs to a group whose key plans were still being corrected in October 1970 and March 1971.

The burial ground is now a City of London Corporation garden. North of it, the gown factories, printers and engineering premises on the sheet record an economy that then made and moved goods around Old Street. That area later became Silicon Roundabout, the web cluster that gathered there from 2008 and that David Cameron launched as Tech City in November 2010. Here the Westminster Bank and its training centre carry a name that vanished on 1 January 1970, when the bank's merger with National Provincial made it National Westminster Bank. The sheet also names Bentima House, Moorfields Primary School and St Luke's Parochial Schools. Drawn for insurers weighing property and fire risk, the plan carries pasted overlays recording changed uses, altered layouts, demolition and new building, and its latest dated correction is March 1970.

The sheet shows porter and tun rooms, stores, brewery yards and a brewery fire brigade station, recording brewing on the site that Samuel Whitbread took in 1750. Beer production ended in 1976, and the listed buildings now host events as The Brewery, with rooms built for beer turned over to entertainment and hospitality. Beside the brewery, the sheet marks the Cromwell Tower footprint and cleared Barbican plots of the high-rise estate then emerging. The tower was finished in 1973, and the estate was listed in 2001. The sheet also names the buildings of City University (Northampton College of Advanced Technology), and Whitecross Street's market still trades at lunchtime. The plan was drawn for insurers weighing property and fire risk, and it carries pasted slips noting changed uses, altered layouts, demolition and new building. Its latest dated correction, from November 1970, marks part of Whitbread's tun rooms as disused.

On the sheet, BP House, Burmah House, City Wall House, Finsbury Court, Lloyds Bank and the computer centre at Rambler House show a service economy taking hold. Yet workshops and stores still survived among the office blocks at the time. Gavrelle House at 2 Bunhill Row, then government offices, is now the University of Law's Moorgate campus. A slip behind B.P. House in block 245 is annotated 'Admission Refused Nov: 1961'.
