The Company was chartered in 1537 and is the British Army's oldest regiment. Its headquarters, Armoury House of 1735, is drawn with the Albert Room, the drill hall of 1862 that was bombed by the IRA on 9 June 1990, and the Company remains there. The sheet also names the GPO Regional Training School, Peabody Buildings, Chequer School for Girls, St Joseph's RC School, Bunhill Row Recreation Ground and City University Northampton Hall. Northampton Hall, the university's first hall of residence, opened in 1964. St Joseph's school closed in 1977, though its church of 1901 continues. Bunhill Row itself now houses Slaughter and May and City's Bayes Business School. Printers and furriers around Dufferin Street, a plastics factory and warehouses for toys and spices show the earlier mixture of making and storing goods behind this frontage. Their presence gives a measure of the area's change towards the legal and educational employment now represented on Bunhill Row. The sheet was compiled for assessing property and fire risk, and it carries pasted amendments recording changes of use, new layouts, demolition and building, with March 1970 as the latest dated correction. Resurveyed and reissued in June 1960, with a 1960 copyright date, the sheet belongs to a group whose key plans were still being corrected in October 1970 and March 1971. Other streets on the sheet include Chequer Street, Dufferin Avenue, Errol Street, Cahill Street and Roscoe Street.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Antiquemapsandprints.com","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54371735634267,"sku":"P-9-001143","price":180.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0923\/9583\/1643\/files\/P-9-001143a_0da3f3c2-be32-428e-87de-809038cffeb5.jpg?v=1792149076"},{"product_id":"goad-london-139-ec1-finsbury-st-luke-s-whitecross-old-streets-1948-1970-map-p-9-001145","title":"Goad London 139—EC1—Finsbury—St Luke's—Whitecross \u0026 Old Streets 1948 (1970) map","description":"\u003cp align=\"left\"\u003eCharles Goad Insurance Plan of London, sheet 139 [Old Street, Whitecross Street, Banner Street and St Luke's Church]\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 139, covers Old Street, Whitecross Street and St Luke's Church (EC1), and on it damage, survival and rebuilding meet. St Luke's, James and Hawksmoor's church of 1727–33, is marked ruinous in June 1960. It had been closed by subsidence in 1959 and was unroofed the next year. The church stood open to the sky until 2003, when it reopened as LSO St Luke's for music-making and education. The Union Glue and Gelatine Company, stables and small factories shown on the sheet record what was then a more industrial setting. The sheet also names Peabody Buildings, the Roscoe Street Estate, Roby House, Anchor House and George Gillett Court. Caslon Street honours William Caslon, the typefounder buried in the churchyard. Kept for insurers judging property and fire risk, the plan carries pasted overlays recording changed uses, altered layouts, demolition and new building. Its latest dated correction, of March 1970, shows a shop under construction. The sheet was resurveyed and reissued in June 1948, 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 Central Street, Mitchell Street, Helmet Row, Ironmonger Row, Golden Lane, Garrett Street, Banner Street and Roscoe Street.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Antiquemapsandprints.com","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54371736977755,"sku":"P-9-001145","price":170.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0923\/9583\/1643\/files\/P-9-001145a_2a53576f-3032-45b4-a8a7-6ea213e23fba.jpg?v=1792149082"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.antiquemapsandprints.com\/collections\/roscoe-street.oembed","provider":"Antiquemapsandprints.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
