The Dominion was then a cinema, and it ran The Sound of Music in 1965–68 before returning to live theatre in 1981. The Central YMCA's Edwardian building was demolished in spring 1971, as the sheet went out of use, to make way for the brutalist block whose club closed in 2025. Congress House, which opened in 1958 with Epstein's war memorial, is still the TUC's headquarters, and the Kenilworth Hotel is still a hotel. The sheet also names Bedford Court Mansions and the college and laboratory premises on Great Russell Street. Made to assess property and fire risk, the plans were kept current with pasted slips recording new uses, altered layouts, demolition and rebuilding. The latest dated corrections, of September 1970, mark premises at the southern end of block 1882, on Tottenham Court Road and Bedford Avenue, as vacant. The sheet was resurveyed and reissued in September 1942, with a 1950 copyright date, and key plans acquired with the group were corrected as late as October 1970 and March 1971. Other streets on the sheet include Morwell Street, Adeline Place, Bloomsbury Street, Bainbridge Street, Dyott Street and New Oxford Street.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Antiquemapsandprints.com","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54371747987803,"sku":"P-9-001160","price":230.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0923\/9583\/1643\/files\/P-9-001160a_b63b3324-cc32-4ea5-a93c-a04119840272.jpg?v=1792149117"},{"product_id":"goad-london-199-wc1-w1-bloomsbury-tottenham-court-rd-bedford-sq-1940-1970-map-p-9-001161","title":"Goad London 199—WC1\/W1—Bloomsbury—Tottenham Court Rd—Bedford Sq 1940 (1970) map","description":"\u003cp align=\"left\"\u003eCharles Goad Insurance Plan of London, sheet 199 [Tottenham Court Road, Store Street, Alfred Place and Bedford Square]\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 199, covers Tottenham Court Road and Bedford Square (WC1 and W1), and it shows the shopping district's working side. Behind the lighting and furniture showrooms of the retail frontage, Jaeger's tailoring factory on Chenies Street and John Line's wallpaper premises then occupied substantial buildings. Neither firm lasted, as John Line \u0026amp; Sons was dissolved in 1988 and Jaeger survives only as a brand that Marks \u0026amp; Spencer bought in 2021. The National Central Library is shown in its 1966 Store Street building, and the library was absorbed into the British Library in 1973. The sheet also names University of London offices and records stores, Whitfield Street Police Station and the Bedford Corner Hotel. Produced to assess property and fire risk, the sheets were amended with pasted overlays as uses changed, layouts altered and buildings were replaced. The latest dated correction is a vacancy annotation of September 1970 in block 1894, at the lower left. Resurveyed and reissued in August 1940, with a 1950 copyright date, the sheet belongs to a group whose key plans were still being corrected in October 1970 and March 1971.
