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. The sheet was resurveyed and reissued in November 1939, with a 1939 copyright date, and the key plans acquired with the group were corrected as late as October 1970 and March 1971. Other streets on the sheet include Bunhill Row, Milton Street, Silk Street and Beech Street.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Antiquemapsandprints.com","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54371755721051,"sku":"P-9-001193","price":210.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0923\/9583\/1643\/files\/P-9-001193a_4a0760b9-293a-4fe2-ba3c-8b6ae0d4764a.jpg?v=1792149203"},{"product_id":"goad-london-25-ec1-ec2-artillery-ground-chiswell-st-finsbury-sq-1934-1970-map-p-9-001194","title":"Goad London 25—EC1\/EC2—Artillery Ground—Chiswell St—Finsbury Sq 1934 (1970) map","description":"\u003cp align=\"left\"\u003eCharles Goad Insurance Plan of London, sheet 25 [Chiswell Street, Finsbury Pavement, Finsbury Square and the Artillery Ground]\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 25, covers Chiswell Street, Finsbury Pavement and Finsbury Square (EC1 and EC2), with the Artillery Ground at its heart. The Honourable Artillery Company, the Army's oldest regiment, was chartered in 1537, and it has drilled there since the seventeenth century and still holds the ground. 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'. The plan was compiled to rate fire risk and stayed in service through pasted overlays logging new uses, altered layouts, demolition and rebuilding. Its latest dated correction is a basement and first-floor vacancy note of November 1970 at Evelyn House, 101 Finsbury Pavement. The sheet was reissued in November 1934, with a 1949 copyright date, and it belongs to a group whose key plans were still being corrected in October 1970 and March 1971.
