Here the sheet shows Bracken House, the Financial Times printing works, with newspaper offices stacked over machine rooms and paper storage. In 1987 it became one of England's first post-war listed buildings, and in 1988 it lost its presses. When the FT returned in 2019, it came back to printing floors that had been turned into offices, so journalism survived where the presses did not. On this sheet, Old Change Court, Spillers and Old Change House are shown consolidating former merchant plots, with St Nicholas Cole Abbey Church standing more openly. The Salvation Army Headquarters and the River Thames frontage at Sunlight Wharf are also shown reconfigured. The plan was made to gauge fire risk and kept current with pasted overlays recording new uses, altered layouts, demolition and rebuilding. Its latest dated correction is a vacancy in block 54, dated November 1970. The sheet was resurveyed and reissued in November 1959, with a 1959 copyright date, and the key plans acquired with the group were corrected as late as October 1970 and March 1971. Other names on the sheet include Cresta House, Carter Lane, Distaff Lane, Friday Street, Bread Street, St Peter's Hill, Lambeth Hill, Upper Thames Street, High Timber Street, Gardner's Lane and Broken Wharf.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Antiquemapsandprints.com","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54371751657819,"sku":"P-9-001172","price":170.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0923\/9583\/1643\/files\/P-9-001172a_cbca1cc8-9572-4634-8419-837e73062d3d.jpg?v=1792149156"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.antiquemapsandprints.com\/fr\/collections\/bracken-house-and-financial-times-printing-works.oembed","provider":"Antiquemapsandprints.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
