In the sheet's day, gown and costume factories, textile warehouses and the College of Fashion Clothing Technology made clothing an industrial and technical occupation here, far from the West End's shops. The London College of Fashion kept a Golden Lane site until it moved to Stratford in 2023. The Golden Lane Estate swimming pool, Crescent House, Hatfield House and Basterfield House are Chamberlin, Powell and Bon's work of 1957–62, and they were listed in 1997. The sheet also shows the Sir Stafford Cripps Estate, Finsbury Borough Council's three twelve-storey blocks approved in 1951, and it names British Olivetti premises and HM Stationery Office. Made for weighing property and fire risk, the sheet carries pasted slips recording changed uses, new layouts, demolition and rebuilding, and its latest dated correction is March 1970. It was resurveyed and reissued in June 1960, with a 1960 copyright date, and the key plans acquired with it carry corrections as late as October 1970 and March 1971. Other streets on the sheet include Bastwick Street, Ludlow Street, Gee Street, Central Street, Crescent Row, Memel Street, Baltic Street, Hatfield Street, Domingo Street and Honduras Street.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Antiquemapsandprints.com","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54371736453467,"sku":"P-9-001144","price":180.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0923\/9583\/1643\/files\/P-9-001144a_dceae0f7-928b-45d6-a083-50a3d9d0dca2.jpg?v=1792149079"},{"product_id":"goad-london-139-ec1-finsbury-st-luke-s-whitecross-old-streets-1948-1970-map-p-9-001145","title":"Goad London 139—EC1—Finsbury—St Luke's—Whitecross \u0026 Old Streets 1948 (1970) map","description":"\u003cp align=\"left\"\u003eCharles Goad Insurance Plan of London, sheet 139 [Old Street, Whitecross Street, Banner Street and St Luke's Church]\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 139, covers Old Street, Whitecross Street and St Luke's Church (EC1), and on it damage, survival and rebuilding meet. St Luke's, James and Hawksmoor's church of 1727–33, is marked ruinous in June 1960. It had been closed by subsidence in 1959 and was unroofed the next year. The church stood open to the sky until 2003, when it reopened as LSO St Luke's for music-making and education. The Union Glue and Gelatine Company, stables and small factories shown on the sheet record what was then a more industrial setting. The sheet also names Peabody Buildings, the Roscoe Street Estate, Roby House, Anchor House and George Gillett Court. Caslon Street honours William Caslon, the typefounder buried in the churchyard. Kept for insurers judging property and fire risk, the plan carries pasted overlays recording changed uses, altered layouts, demolition and new building. Its latest dated correction, of March 1970, shows a shop under construction. The sheet was resurveyed and reissued in June 1948, with a 1950 copyright date, and key plans acquired with the group were corrected as late as October 1970 and March 1971.
