The Holborn Viaduct Station railway approaches dominate the sheet, with railway arches and workshops beneath them. The viaduct and bridge across Ludgate Hill were demolished in 1990 so that the line could run in tunnel to City Thameslink, and their removal cleared a major obstruction. On Farringdon Street, the Congregational Memorial Hall of 1875, where the Labour Party was founded in 1900, came down in 1968. Caroone House replaced it in 1972 and was itself demolished in 2004, to be followed by 5 Fleet Place in 2007. The sheet also names the Sun Life Assurance offices, a London Electricity Board substation, Hillgate House and Modern Court. The plan was compiled for fire-risk assessment and kept up to date with pasted overlays recording new uses, altered layouts, demolition and new building. Its later vacancy annotations, of November 1970, are the latest dated correction. The sheet was resurveyed and reissued in November 1960, with a 1960 copyright date, and it belongs to a group whose key plans were still being corrected in October 1970 and March 1971. Other streets on the sheet include Fleet Lane, Old Seacoal Lane, Seacoal Lane, Old Bailey, New Bridge Street and Pilgrim Street.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Antiquemapsandprints.com","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54371752083803,"sku":"P-9-001176","price":210.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0923\/9583\/1643\/files\/P-9-001176a_1649a85d-8db2-4688-a41b-cb8639e65ebf.jpg?v=1792149166"},{"product_id":"goad-london-39-ec4-old-bailey-holborn-viaduct-stn-farringdon-st-1960-1969-map-p-9-001207","title":"Goad London 39—EC4—Old Bailey—Holborn Viaduct Stn—Farringdon St 1960 (1969) map","description":"\u003cp align=\"left\"\u003eCharles Goad Insurance Plan of London, sheet 39 [Holborn Viaduct Station, Farringdon Street, St Sepulchre's Church and the Old Bailey]\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 39, covers Old Bailey and Holborn Viaduct (EC4), placing the Central Criminal Court beside a lost terminus. Here the sheet preserves that vanished City terminus, Holborn Viaduct Station, with the Southern Region railway garages and repair spaces beneath its railway. The station closed in 1990 as Thameslink's replacement route and underground station transformed this approach to the commercial centre. The Central Criminal Court still sits, extended by its South Block of 1968 to 1972. St Sepulchre's Church, the City's largest parish church, survives too, as does Cutlers' Hall of 1888 on Warwick Lane. The sheet also names Terminus Chambers and the wine and spirit vaults beneath Holborn Viaduct. Goad's working plans were prepared for property and fire-risk assessment, and they carried pasted overlays recording new uses, altered layouts, demolition and new building. The latest dated corrections on this sheet are three vacancy annotations dated September 1969, two between Turnagain Lane and Newcastle Close and one at 23-24 Old Bailey. The sheet was resurveyed and reissued in February 1960, with a 1960 copyright date, and the key plans acquired with it carry corrections as late as October 1970 and March 1971. Other streets on the sheet include Farringdon Street, Giltspur Street, Fleet Lane, Newgate Street and Warwick Square.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Antiquemapsandprints.com","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54371763355995,"sku":"P-9-001207","price":220.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0923\/9583\/1643\/files\/P-9-001207a_4a593ae5-5df1-4fe1-8227-cb27426ffd53.jpg?v=1792149241"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.antiquemapsandprints.com\/collections\/fleet-lane.oembed","provider":"Antiquemapsandprints.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
