At the time, cold storage and market distribution were prominent beside the railway, represented by Union Cold Storage and by the London Central Markets, with its fruit and vegetable market and cold store. The General Market is now empty and is being converted for London Museum, which is due to open from November 2026. The plan still labels the station Farringdon \u0026amp; High Holborn, a name that was dropped in 1936, and it marks the Metropolitan Railway, which opened here in 1863. The station's expansion for the Elizabeth line, which opened in 2022, put the emphasis on carrying passengers across London, and Cowcross Street has been rebuilt and pedestrianised. Goad's plans were compiled so that insurers could rate property and fire risk, and they were maintained with pasted overlays noting changed uses, altered layouts, demolition and new building. The sheet was resurveyed and reissued in January 1962, with a 1962 copyright date, and it carries a latest dated correction of September 1969. Key plans acquired with the group were still being corrected in October 1970 and March 1971. Other streets on the sheet include Farringdon Road, Turnmill Street, Benjamin Street, Britton Street and Charterhouse Street.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Antiquemapsandprints.com","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54371708535131,"sku":"P-9-001110","price":190.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0923\/9583\/1643\/files\/P-9-001110a_0fec270a-2a7f-4f87-8073-2d5f37fedb8b.jpg?v=1792148999"},{"product_id":"goad-london-47-ec1-smithfield-central-meat-market-st-john-street-1960-1969-map-p-9-001111","title":"Goad London 47—EC1—Smithfield—Central Meat Market—St John Street 1960 (1969) map","description":"\u003cp align=\"left\"\u003eCharles Goad Insurance Plan of London, sheet 47 [Smithfield Central Meat Market, St John Street, Charterhouse Street and Cowcross Street]\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 47, covers Smithfield Central Meat Market and St John Street (EC1), home to a trade now in its last years here. The sheet shows the London Central Meat Market surrounded and underpinned by cold stores and railway goods depots, with Grand Avenue, East Poultry Avenue, Lindsey Street and Long Lane among the streets around it. The sidings beneath the market closed in the 1960s, and in 2024 the City abandoned the move to Dagenham, with traders staying until at least 2028. Fabric, which has been in the renovated Metropolitan Cold Stores on Charterhouse Street since 1999, stands for the nightlife that followed. The LCC Smithfield Technical Institute taught butchery and refrigeration until it closed in the 1980s, and across Charterhouse Square the Charterhouse almshouse opened to the public in 2017. Insurers rated property and fire risk from these plans, which were kept current with pasted overlays recording changed uses, altered layouts, demolition and new building. The sheet was resurveyed and reissued in February 1960, with a 1960 copyright date, and it carries a latest dated correction of September 1969. Key plans acquired with the group carry corrections as late as October 1970 and March 1971.
