Here the sheet shows the Times and Observer premises with casting, machine and paper-storage spaces, alongside printing works, newspaper premises and the Associated Newspapers garage. The presses have gone, with The Times leaving for Gray's Inn Road and, in 1986, for Wapping. Apothecaries' Hall on Blackfriars Lane, which dates from 1672 and is the City's oldest livery hall, still houses the Society of Apothecaries. The Mermaid Theatre at Puddle Dock, Bernard Miles's playhouse of 1959, is now a conference venue, and Blackfriars Station, beside the Blackfriars Bridge approach, was rebuilt by 2012 with platforms spanning the river. The sheet was drawn to assess fire risk and kept current with pasted overlays recording new uses, altered layouts, demolition and rebuilding. It carries vacancy annotations dated November 1970, which are its latest dated correction. It was resurveyed and reissued in November 1941, with a 1949 copyright date, and the key plans acquired with the group were corrected as late as October 1970 and March 1971. Other streets on the sheet include New Bridge Street, Pilgrim Street, Ludgate Broadway, Apothecary Street, Carter Lane, Church Entry, Friar Street, St Andrew's Hill, Queen Victoria Street and Upper Thames Street.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Antiquemapsandprints.com","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54371749036379,"sku":"P-9-001169","price":170.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0923\/9583\/1643\/files\/P-9-001169a_dad3e82f-e42e-4b64-9df2-fef8c75cb68c.jpg?v=1792149145"},{"product_id":"goad-london-8-ec4-ludgate-circus-ludgate-hill-old-bailey-1960-1970-map-p-9-001176","title":"Goad London 8—EC4—Ludgate Circus—Ludgate Hill—Old Bailey 1960 (1970) map","description":"\u003cp align=\"left\"\u003eCharles Goad Insurance Plan of London, sheet 8 [Ludgate Hill, Ludgate Circus, Old Bailey and Farringdon 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 8, covers Ludgate Circus and Farringdon Street (EC4) from the days when the railway still rode over the street. The Holborn Viaduct Station railway approaches dominate the sheet, with railway arches and workshops beneath them. The viaduct and bridge across Ludgate Hill were demolished in 1990 so that the line could run in tunnel to City Thameslink, and their removal cleared a major obstruction. On Farringdon Street, the Congregational Memorial Hall of 1875, where the Labour Party was founded in 1900, came down in 1968. Caroone House replaced it in 1972 and was itself demolished in 2004, to be followed by 5 Fleet Place in 2007. The sheet also names the Sun Life Assurance offices, a London Electricity Board substation, Hillgate House and Modern Court. The plan was compiled for fire-risk assessment and kept up to date with pasted overlays recording new uses, altered layouts, demolition and new building. Its later vacancy annotations, of November 1970, are the latest dated correction. The sheet was resurveyed and reissued in November 1960, with a 1960 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 Fleet Lane, Old Seacoal Lane, Seacoal Lane, Old Bailey, New Bridge Street and Pilgrim Street.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Antiquemapsandprints.com","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54371752083803,"sku":"P-9-001176","price":210.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0923\/9583\/1643\/files\/P-9-001176a_1649a85d-8db2-4688-a41b-cb8639e65ebf.jpg?v=1792149166"},{"product_id":"goad-london-9-ec4-st-paul-s-ludgate-hill-stationers-hall-1962-1970-old-map-p-9-001177","title":"Goad London 9—EC4—St Paul's—Ludgate Hill—Stationers' Hall 1962 (1970) old map","description":"\u003cp align=\"left\"\u003eCharles Goad Insurance Plan of London, sheet 9 [Ludgate Hill, Paternoster Square, Stationers' Hall and St Paul's Cathedral]\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 9, covers Ludgate Hill and Paternoster Square (EC4), with the first post-war rebuilding north of St Paul's complete. The Central Electricity Generating Board offices then filled much of it, but the Board was broken up in 1990. Its blocks gave way to the Paternoster Square of 2003, with the London Stock Exchange, offices, shops and restaurants, and this was a second rebuilding in the cathedral's setting. Stationers' Hall of 1673 remains the Company's home, and St Martin Ludgate Church and the Amen Court canonry survive. Hodder \u0026amp; Stoughton, marked on the sheet, recall the publishers of Paternoster Row, five million of whose books burned in 1940. The Old Bailey extension, shown under construction in November 1970 near the St Paul's Cathedral west front and Music School, was finished in 1972. The plan was made for fire-risk assessment and corrected by pasted overlays recording new uses, altered layouts and rebuilding, and November 1970 is its latest dated correction.
