Hardwick's hall of 1835 includes working assay facilities as well as ceremonial rooms. The Assay Office has worked here since 1478, giving us the word hallmark, and today it keeps the testing and hallmarking of precious metals alive amid the surrounding office district. St Vedast Church was gutted in 1941 and restored from 1953, and Saddlers' Hall, destroyed in 1940, was rebuilt by 1958. St Peter Cheap churchyard, with its plane tree and its shops of 1687, survives at the Wood Street corner. The sheet also names Wax Chandlers' Hall, Cheapside House, and the M.O.W. and government offices with electronics laboratories and a computer centre. The plan was compiled for fire-risk assessment and kept current with pasted overlays recording changes of use, altered layouts, demolition and new building. Its latest dated correction is a basement and first-floor vacancy note at 11–12 Foster Lane, dated November 1970. The sheet was resurveyed and reissued in December 1958, with a 1958 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 St Martin's-le-Grand, Gresham Street, Carey Lane, Gutter Lane and Goldsmith Street.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Antiquemapsandprints.com","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54371754180955,"sku":"P-9-001185","price":190.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0923\/9583\/1643\/files\/P-9-001185a_386d62bf-7071-4833-99d1-3ef62fda8b1c.jpg?v=1792149186"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.antiquemapsandprints.com\/collections\/gutter-lane.oembed","provider":"Antiquemapsandprints.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
