The sheet shows the London Central Meat Market surrounded and underpinned by cold stores and railway goods depots, with Grand Avenue, East Poultry Avenue, Lindsey Street and Long Lane among the streets around it. The sidings beneath the market closed in the 1960s, and in 2024 the City abandoned the move to Dagenham, with traders staying until at least 2028. Fabric, which has been in the renovated Metropolitan Cold Stores on Charterhouse Street since 1999, stands for the nightlife that followed. The LCC Smithfield Technical Institute taught butchery and refrigeration until it closed in the 1980s, and across Charterhouse Square the Charterhouse almshouse opened to the public in 2017. Insurers rated property and fire risk from these plans, which were kept current with pasted overlays recording changed uses, altered layouts, demolition and new building. The sheet was resurveyed and reissued in February 1960, with a 1960 copyright date, and it carries a latest dated correction of September 1969. Key plans acquired with the group carry corrections as late as October 1970 and March 1971. Other streets on the sheet include Cowcross Street, Peter's Lane, St John's Lane and Britton Street.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Antiquemapsandprints.com","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54371709419867,"sku":"P-9-001111","price":210.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0923\/9583\/1643\/files\/P-9-001111a_9c718f8c-4705-4c7d-8017-65d50e3b32d4.jpg?v=1792148999"},{"product_id":"goad-london-134-ec1-charterhouse-sq-aldersgate-st-barbican-stn-1952-1970-map-p-9-001142","title":"Goad London 134—EC1—Charterhouse Sq—Aldersgate St—Barbican Stn 1952 (1970) map","description":"\u003cp align=\"left\"\u003eCharles Goad Insurance Plan of London, sheet 134 [The Charterhouse, Charterhouse Square, Aldersgate Street and Barbican Station]\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 134, covers Charterhouse Square, Aldersgate Street and Barbican Station (EC1), and its leading feature is The Charterhouse. A priory of 1371 and Thomas Sutton's almshouse since 1611, it is drawn court by court, with its chapel and Great Hall, Master's Court, Preachers' Court and Wash House Court. In 1952 the Great Hall and Master's Court, which had been burnt out in the Blitz, were midway through their 1950–59 restoration. The almshouse still houses its Brothers, and it opened a museum in January 2017. St Bartholomew's Medical College, which has been in the former school buildings since 1933, remains a Barts medical campus. The station is labelled Aldersgate and Barbican, a name that was dropped in December 1968. The corner of Long Lane and Lindsey Street now holds Farringdon's Elizabeth line ticket hall, which opened in May 2022. The mantle factory in Glasshouse Yard, gown and millinery premises and nearby typesetters reveal a working district of clothing and print trades beside the Charterhouse. Glasshouse Yard later became home to Audible's UK headquarters and recording studios, bringing digital audio publishing into this former manufacturing quarter. Kept for insurers rating property and fire risk, the sheet carries pasted slips recording changed uses, altered layouts, demolition and rebuilding, and its latest dated correction is March 1970. It was resurveyed and reissued in June 1952, with a 1952 copyright date, and key plans acquired with the group were corrected as late as October 1970 and March 1971.
