Today the Inn's Hall houses the Institute and Faculty of Actuaries. Chancery Lane Safe Deposit, which the sheet labels beneath the office accommodation, lives on as the London Silver Vaults. Dealers there still sell antique and contemporary silver, an unusually enduring trade in this legal district. The sheet also names the Patent Office library, whose collection is now part of the British Library. It names the Chancery Lane Underground Station booking offices, National Westminster Bank, the Sun Alliance offices and Lincoln's Inn Chapel as well. These 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 Heron House office development is marked under construction in September 1969, matching the date of the Breams Buildings vacancy annotation, and this is the latest dated correction. The sheet was resurveyed and reissued in February 1940, with a 1950 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 Holborn, Chancery Lane, Southampton Buildings, Furnival Street, Cursitor Street and Old Square.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Antiquemapsandprints.com","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54371761389915,"sku":"P-9-001204","price":230.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0923\/9583\/1643\/files\/P-9-001204a_d14b0c2b-ff88-4c59-8e2f-aa4f03209187.jpg?v=1792149232"},{"product_id":"goad-london-37-ec4-holborn-daily-mirror-fetter-lane-w-h-smith-1956-1969-map-p-9-001205","title":"Goad London 37—EC4—Holborn—Daily Mirror—Fetter Lane—W.

The sheet shows the works' reel storage, machine spaces and engineering accommodation, exposing the factory behind the newspaper. Owen Williams's Mirror building overlooked Holborn Circus from 1961 until 1994. Its replacement by the 33 Holborn office development, which has been Sainsbury's headquarters since 2001, marks the loss of a major manufacturing workplace from the City fringe. On the sheet, Mirror House, the W. H. Smith \u0026amp; Sons premises and a computer centre appear alongside Buchanan House, Prestige House and Halton House. Field House, on Breams Buildings, is today an immigration and asylum tribunal hearing centre. These working plans were drawn for property and fire-risk assessment, and they carried pasted overlays recording new uses, altered layouts, demolition and new building. The latest dated correction on this sheet is an upper-floor vacancy note of September 1969 at 83 Fetter Lane. The sheet was resurveyed and reissued in February 1956, with a 1956 copyright date, and the key plans acquired with the group were corrected as late as October 1970 and March 1971.
