The East India Company began these warehouses in 1768, and the PLA left in 1976. Seifert's conversion of 1978–82, known as Cutlers Gardens, is now Devonshire Square, whose offices, restaurants and shops keep the warehouse architecture although the storage and handling of imported goods has gone. The City of London Police Station on Bishopsgate is now the force's only station, and the Sir John Cass College Department of Navigation left for Tower Hill in 1969. The Cavendish Telephone Exchange and the London Ambulance training school are also named on the sheet, and Petticoat Lane market still fills Middlesex Street on Sundays. The plans were made to assess fire risk, and they were kept current with pasted overlays recording new uses, altered layouts, demolition and rebuilding. The sheet was resurveyed and reissued in October 1961, with a 1961 copyright date, and its latest dated correction is August 1969. Key plans acquired with the group were corrected as late as October 1970 and March 1971. Other streets on the sheet include Houndsditch, Devonshire Row, Victoria Avenue and Cock Hill.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Antiquemapsandprints.com","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54371725508955,"sku":"P-9-001130","price":190.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0923\/9583\/1643\/files\/P-9-001130a_5f23b561-03d9-4919-98ae-1d3a30ba28e2.jpg?v=1792149043"},{"product_id":"goad-london-311-e1-ec2-spitalfields-bishopsgate-artillery-lane-1932-1968-map-p-9-001167","title":"Goad London 311—E1\/EC2—Spitalfields—Bishopsgate—Artillery Lane 1932 (1968) map","description":"\u003cp align=\"left\"\u003eCharles Goad Insurance Plan of London, sheet 311 [Spitalfields: Bishopsgate, Brushfield Street, Artillery Lane and Spitalfields Market (outline only)]\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 311, covers Spitalfields from Bishopsgate to the market (E1 and EC2), where the lorry parking and refuse facilities shown along the Spitalfields Market perimeter reveal the infrastructure of wholesale food distribution. That trade left for Leyton in 1991, and the district became a shopping and dining destination, with Bishops Square following in 2005. Bishopsgate Institute, which opened in 1895, still runs its free library and archives. Sandys Row Synagogue, a Huguenot chapel of 1766 that has been in Jewish use since 1867, is London's oldest surviving Ashkenazi synagogue. By contrast, the Central Foundation School for Girls left Spital Square for Bow in 1975. The sheet also names St Botolph's Hall and the Provident Association of London Ltd building, which was under construction in August 1968. The sheet was kept up to date for fire-risk assessment with pasted slips recording new uses and rebuilding, and its latest annotations, of August 1968, include a vacancy note at 10 Artillery Lane. It was reissued in June 1932, with a 1950 copyright date, and it belongs to a group whose key plans were still being corrected in October 1970 and March 1971.
