It stands on the medieval nunnery site above St James's public gardens and is still an active parish. In the sheet's day, the Hugh Myddelton Schools occupied a substantial site north of the church. They were built in 1893 over the vaults of the demolished House of Detention and closed in 1971, and the main building is now the Kingsway Place apartments, with its distinctive architecture intact. On the Green, the Welsh Charity School of 1738 has housed the Marx Memorial Library since 1933. The sheet also names the Advance Foundry, Woodbridge House and a medical mission. Printers in Clerkenwell Close and St James Walk, Mono Pumps' testing premises and a time-recorder works reveal a concentration of skilled production among the houses and institutions. Former industrial buildings across Clerkenwell have since become offices, homes and design studios, while printing continues locally, now including digital production. These plans were produced to rate property and fire risk, and they carry pasted overlays noting new uses, altered layouts, demolition and rebuilding. The last dated correction on this sheet is March 1970. Resurveyed and reissued in June 1944, with a 1950 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 Clerkenwell Close, Bowling Green Lane, Corporation Row, Sans Walk, St James Row, Scotswood Street, Sekforde Street, Woodbridge Street and Aylesbury Street.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Antiquemapsandprints.com","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54371730850139,"sku":"P-9-001137","price":160.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0923\/9583\/1643\/files\/P-9-001137a_e9d166e4-a9a4-4c78-851c-388fed233fc5.jpg?v=1792149062"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.antiquemapsandprints.com\/collections\/scotswood-street.oembed","provider":"Antiquemapsandprints.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
