The Commercial Union building and the P\u0026amp;O Building are marked under construction in August 1969, and their elevated walkways and plaza were then replacing the older pattern of premises. The P\u0026amp;O Building came down in 2007–08 to make way for Rogers's \"Cheesegrater\" of 2014. Demolition of the Commercial Union tower began in 2025 to make way for 1 Undershaft, which was consented in 2024 at almost 310 metres. St Helen's Bishopsgate, the City's largest surviving parish church and once Shakespeare's, was wrecked by the bombs of 1992 and 1993 and restored by Quinlan Terry by 1995. Baring Brothers had been at 8 Bishopsgate since 1806 when it collapsed in 1995. Midland Bank became HSBC in 1999, and The Chartered Bank merged into Standard Chartered in 1969. Plans like this were kept for fire-risk assessment, and they carry pasted slips recording new uses, 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 corrected as late as October 1970 and March 1971. Other streets on the sheet include Leadenhall Street, St Helen's Place, Great St Helen's and Crosby Square.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Antiquemapsandprints.com","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54371722985819,"sku":"P-9-001127","price":220.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0923\/9583\/1643\/files\/P-9-001127a_866f9ed0-333b-4456-a2ef-c696a937b771.jpg?v=1792149038"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.antiquemapsandprints.com\/collections\/crosby-square.oembed","provider":"Antiquemapsandprints.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
