Behind the boutiques it shows gown factories, woollen premises and a glove factory, evidence of the making and storage work that then went on behind shopping streets now given over to retail and leisure. Carnaby Street itself was pedestrianised in October 1973. Frank Matcham's Palladium of 1910 is still a working theatre on Argyll Street, and Liberty and Marks \u0026amp; Spencer's Pantheon store on Oxford Street both trade on. Marshall Street Baths, opened in 1931, closed in 1997 and reopened in 2010 as a leisure centre, whereas the Academy Cinema, then London's leading art-house, closed in 1986 and was demolished in 1989. The Academy's basement ballroom at 165 Oxford Street was the Marquee Club's first home, from 1958 to 1964, and the Rolling Stones made their first live appearance here on 12 July 1962. The map retains the cinema and ballroom, but the Marquee had moved to Wardour Street before the final revision. The London Electricity Board Western Substation is also marked. Goad's plans were compiled to assess property and fire risk, and they were kept current with pasted overlays recording changes of use, altered layouts, demolition and new building. The latest dated correction, October 1970, is a first-floor vacancy note at 51 Great Marlborough Street. The sheet was resurveyed and reissued in September 1946, with a 1950 copyright date, and the key plan acquired with the group records corrections to October 1970. Other streets on the sheet include Poland Street, Marshall Street, Newburgh Street, Ganton Street and Broadwick Street.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Antiquemapsandprints.com","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54371691921755,"sku":"P-9-001090","price":240.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0923\/9583\/1643\/files\/P-9-001090a_e49c75da-efca-4dc0-9d0c-011b8ddb1cf4.jpg?v=1792148981"},{"product_id":"goad-london-223b-w1-soho-noel-berwick-wardour-oxford-streets-1960-1970-map-p-9-001092","title":"Goad London 223B—W1—Soho—Noel, Berwick, Wardour \u0026 Oxford Streets 1960 (1970) map","description":"\u003cp align=\"left\"\u003eCharles Goad Insurance Plan of London, sheet 223B [Soho: Oxford Street, Berwick Street, Wardour Street and Noel 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 223B, covers Soho's Oxford Street, Poland Street, Wardour Street and Berwick Street (W1), and it records the working Soho of rag trade and film. The sheet shows clothing factories and film vaults beside the Amalgamated Dental Company's dental-materials factory, so garments, film and specialist medical supplies all lay within a few blocks. Together they formed a productive economy far broader than today's shopping-and-restaurant Soho. Wardour Street, then the British film industry's headquarters street, has since lost its big companies, leaving post-production houses behind. Berwick Street market was founded in 1778 and still trades, and the street itself appeared on the cover of Oasis's (What's the Story) Morning Glory? in 1995. GPO offices and Waverley House are also marked. Goad's plans were kept for assessing 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, October 1970, records a building under construction at 10–11 D'Arblay Street, with gowns premises on the basement and first floor and flats above, showing new homes being fitted into the commercial district. The sheet was resurveyed and reissued in November 1960, with a 1960 copyright date, and the key plan acquired with the group records corrections to October 1970.
