Behind the lighting and furniture showrooms of the retail frontage, Jaeger's tailoring factory on Chenies Street and John Line's wallpaper premises then occupied substantial buildings. Neither firm lasted, as John Line \u0026amp; Sons was dissolved in 1988 and Jaeger survives only as a brand that Marks \u0026amp; Spencer bought in 2021. The National Central Library is shown in its 1966 Store Street building, and the library was absorbed into the British Library in 1973. The sheet also names University of London offices and records stores, Whitfield Street Police Station and the Bedford Corner Hotel. Produced to assess property and fire risk, the sheets were amended with pasted overlays as uses changed, layouts altered and buildings were replaced. The latest dated correction is a vacancy annotation of September 1970 in block 1894, at the lower left. Resurveyed and reissued in August 1940, with a 1950 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 Goodge Street, Ridgmount Street, Windmill Street, Percy Street, South Crescent, Bayley Street and Morwell Street.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Antiquemapsandprints.com","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54371748118875,"sku":"P-9-001161","price":200.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0923\/9583\/1643\/files\/P-9-001161a_1bc2cf42-e824-4d56-bb72-59bbaf679c9f.jpg?v=1792149121"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.antiquemapsandprints.com\/collections\/chenies-street.oembed","provider":"Antiquemapsandprints.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
