These labels show how closely entertainment, specialist retailing and small-scale production were then interwoven, with workrooms behind and above the public frontages. The radio and television trade here boomed on war-surplus stock in the 1950s and has since dwindled. The dance hall and basement club marked beneath the Berkeley Cinema at 31 Tottenham Court Road were the Blarney Club premises, where UFO opened on 23 December 1966. Pink Floyd and Soft Machine were central to its psychedelic nights, and the Jimi Hendrix Experience appeared on 19 February 1967. UFO left later in 1967, before the sheet's final revision, so the map preserves its setting under a generic club label. La Continentale Cinema, which began as the Majestic Picturedrome of 1912, and the neighbouring Berkeley Cinema closed on 31 August 1976 and were demolished in 1977 to make way for offices and shops. The three-screen Classic opened on the site in 1981 and is now the Odeon Tottenham Court Road. The sheet also marks the Hanway Street basement cinema and film store. Goad's plans were drawn up to assess property and fire risk, and they were amended with pasted overlays recording changes of use, altered layouts, demolition and new building. The latest dated correction on this sheet is October 1970. The sheet was resurveyed and reissued in September 1940, with a 1950 copyright date, and a key plan covering this area, acquired with the same group of maps, records corrections to October 1970. Other streets on the sheet include Oxford Street, Stephen Street, Rathbone Place, Gresse Street, Tudor Place, Hanway Street and Hanway Place.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Antiquemapsandprints.com","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54371698180443,"sku":"P-9-001102","price":160.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0923\/9583\/1643\/files\/P-9-001102a_fd89491b-188c-44db-b760-c40898c3c2bd.jpg?v=1792148991"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.antiquemapsandprints.com\/collections\/hanway-street.oembed","provider":"Antiquemapsandprints.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
