The IRA bomb of 10 April 1992 killed three people and wrecked the Exchange, and the ruin was razed in 1998. Its site, together with the neighbouring Chamber of Shipping, is now 30 St Mary Axe, Foster's Gherkin of 2004, where a landmark tower has taken the place of a specialised trading hall. Bevis Marks Synagogue of 1701, Britain's oldest in continuous use, still holds services, while St Andrew Undershaft of 1532 lost its seventeenth-century glass in the 1992 blast. Cunard House was rebuilt in the 1990s, and St Mary Axe House and West India House are also named. Plans like this were made for fire-risk assessment, and they carry pasted overlays recording new occupiers, altered layouts, demolition and rebuilding. The sheet was resurveyed and reissued in August 1943, with a 1949 copyright date, and its latest dated correction is August 1969. Key plans acquired with the group were still being corrected in October 1970 and March 1971. Other streets on the sheet include Houndsditch, Camomile Street, Bury Street, Creechurch Lane, Heneage Lane and Leadenhall Street.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Antiquemapsandprints.com","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54371723608411,"sku":"P-9-001128","price":220.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0923\/9583\/1643\/files\/P-9-001128a_8747b54e-3615-4280-a579-803b313bbf51.jpg?v=1792149042"},{"product_id":"goad-london-69-ec3-aldgate-leadenhall-st-houndsditch-mitre-sq-1961-1969-map-p-9-001129","title":"Goad London 69—EC3—Aldgate—Leadenhall St—Houndsditch—Mitre Sq 1961 (1969) map","description":"\u003cp align=\"left\"\u003eCharles Goad Insurance Plan of London, sheet 69 [Aldgate, Leadenhall Street, Houndsditch and Mitre 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 69, covers Aldgate and Mitre Square (EC3), the square where Catherine Eddowes was found at 1.44am on 30 September 1888. Hers was the only Jack the Ripper murder inside the City. The sheet names St Katharine Cree, which was consecrated by Laud in 1631 and is now a Guild church. It also names the Sir John Cass Foundation School, which was renamed The Aldgate School in 2020 over Cass's links to the slave trade and now faces Aldgate Square, opened in 2018. The Union Castle Steamship Company offices appear on the sheet as well, and the company's last mail ship from the Cape docked in October 1977. Aldgate Pump still stands at the Leadenhall Street junction, with its lantern recreated in 2019, and GPO offices and stores are also marked. Printers around Mitre Square and Creechurch Lane, together with warehouses and tobacco storage, show how production and the handling of goods persisted among the City offices. The later headquarters development at One Creechurch Place, beside Mitre Square, illustrates the area's further turn towards office employment. The plans were working documents for assessing fire risk, and they were updated with pasted slips recording changes of occupier, altered layouts, demolition and new building. The sheet was resurveyed and reissued in October 1961, with a 1961 copyright date, and its latest dated correction is August 1969. Key plans acquired with the group carry corrections as late as October 1970 and March 1971.
