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-3-ec4-queen-victoria-st-college-of-arms-faraday-bldg-1941-1970-map-p-9-001170","title":"Goad London 3—EC4—Queen Victoria St—College of Arms—Faraday Bldg 1941 (1970) map","description":"\u003cp align=\"left\"\u003eCharles Goad Insurance Plan of London, sheet 3 [Queen Victoria Street, Upper Thames Street, Faraday Building and the College of Arms]\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 3, covers Queen Victoria Street and St Andrew by the Wardrobe (EC4), where pale overpastes mark extensive cleared riverside sites. These were the Thames-side warehouse plots south of the Faraday Buildings, and the City of London School took part of that ground in 1986, bringing education to where warehouses and wharves had stood. Faraday Building then held the GPO Telephone Department headquarters and the GPO International Telephone Exchange. When it was completed in 1933, it hid St Paul's from the River Thames, and it prompted the height controls that still guard the cathedral. The College of Arms, home of the heralds since 1555, still works beside Wren's St Benet's, which has been the City's Welsh church since 1879. The plan was made for fire-risk assessment and revised with pasted slips showing new uses, altered layouts, demolition and rebuilding. Its latest dated correction, of November 1970, marks a vacancy at 21 Godliman Street. The sheet was resurveyed and reissued in November 1941, with a 1941 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 Carter Lane, St Andrew's Hill, Wardrobe Terrace, Addle Hill, Knightrider Street, Sermon Lane, St Peter's Hill, Upper Thames Street and Bennet's Hill.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Antiquemapsandprints.com","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54371749200219,"sku":"P-9-001170","price":170.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0923\/9583\/1643\/files\/P-9-001170a_986861a5-cba6-4573-90b8-4461d10a3bb9.jpg?v=1792149149"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.antiquemapsandprints.com\/collections\/st-andrews-hill.oembed","provider":"Antiquemapsandprints.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
