Here, printers, clothing factories and textile warehouses stood alongside tea-packing and blending works, cabinetmakers' supplies and furniture workshops. Ridgways' tea-packing and blending works belonged to Queen Victoria's tea blenders, who were granted a royal warrant in 1886 and whose Her Majesty's Blend is still sold. St Michael's Church on Mark Street, designed by James Brooks and dating from 1865, closed in 1964 and was an architectural salvage showroom from 1978 to 2019. In the sheet's day, Greenman's cabinetmakers' supplies, Victoria Chambers, the Post Office Training School and furniture factories and other furniture premises filled a district that media and technology later took over. The sheet was amended for fire-risk assessment with pasted overlays recording new uses, altered layouts and rebuilding. Its latest dated corrections, from March 1970, include vacancy and construction annotations. Resurveyed and reissued in June 1954, with a 1954 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 Tabernacle Square, Tabernacle Street, Singer Street, Leonard Street, Leonard Square, Paul Street, Luke Street, Willow Street, Blackall Street, Garden Walk and Kiffen Street.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Antiquemapsandprints.com","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54371744907611,"sku":"P-9-001152","price":180.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0923\/9583\/1643\/files\/P-9-001152a_59db2539-722b-44fd-84d2-51a3683628a3.jpg?v=1792149095"},{"product_id":"goad-london-404-nw1-camden-town-hawley-crescent-regent-s-canal-1957-1970-map-p-9-001277","title":"Goad London 404—NW1—Camden Town—Hawley Crescent—Regent's Canal 1957 (1970) map","description":"\u003cp align=\"left\"\u003eCharles Goad Insurance Plan of London, sheet 404 [Camden Town: Kentish Town Road, Hawley Crescent, Regent's Canal and the Aerated Bread Company works]\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 404, covers Camden Town at Hawley Crescent and Kentish Town Road (NW1), and it holds the district's lost industry. The Aerated Bread Company's canalside works ceased production in 1982, and Grimshaw's Sainsbury's took its place in 1988. In 2019 the store became the first purpose-built supermarket to be listed Grade II. Terry Farrell converted the Henlys motor depot, a 1930s garage, for TV-am, complete with egg-cups above Regent's Canal, and the station was on air from 1 February 1983. MTV bought the building in 1993, and Paramount holds it now. In the sheet's day, George Newnes publishing premises, butchery and cold stores filled out the trades. Bodley and Garner's St Michael's Church of 1881 still serves the parish, and the sheet marks Hawley Locks on the canal. Such plans were used to price fire risk and were kept current with pasted slips recording new uses, altered layouts, demolition and rebuilding. The latest dated correction identified on this sheet is a vacancy note at 7 Buck Street, dated February 1970. The sheet was resurveyed and reissued in December 1957, with a 1957 copyright date, and a key plan for South London, acquired with the same group, records corrections to March 1971. Other streets on the sheet include Camden High Street, Stucley Place, Camden Road, Camden Street, Lyme Street and Georgiana Street.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Antiquemapsandprints.com","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54371814080859,"sku":"P-9-001277","price":230.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0923\/9583\/1643\/files\/P-9-001277a_c9a12be7-4569-4eb1-b6dc-a931a48eefb4.jpg?v=1792149420"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.antiquemapsandprints.com\/collections\/st-michaels-church.oembed","provider":"Antiquemapsandprints.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
