Lutyens's Britannic House of 1924–27 was built for the Anglo-Persian Oil Company, which became BP, and it is listed Grade II* and now houses Stephenson Harwood. The gardens' bowling green of 1925 was removed when Crossrail made them a worksite from 2010 to 2020, and the redesigned gardens reopened in May 2025. Salisbury House of 1899–1901 is still used as offices, River Plate House was rebuilt as 8 Finsbury Circus in 2016, and Moorgate Station gained its Elizabeth line link in 2022. Of the banks on the sheet, Midland Bank became HSBC in 1999, and National Provincial Bank merged into National Westminster Bank on 1 January 1970. Goad's plans were compiled for fire-risk assessment and kept current with pasted slips recording new occupiers, altered layouts, demolition and rebuilding, but no individual correction on this sheet carries a date. The sheet was reissued in August 1935, with a 1949 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 South Place, Eldon Street, Wilson Street and Circus Place.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Antiquemapsandprints.com","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54371709387099,"sku":"P-9-001112","price":150.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0923\/9583\/1643\/files\/P-9-001112a_d17c133c-6186-4753-8ecd-ad88a520d49a.jpg?v=1792149002"},{"product_id":"goad-london-23-ec2-moorgate-stn-london-wall-moor-lane-fore-st-1939-1970-map-p-9-001192","title":"Goad London 23—EC2—Moorgate Stn—London Wall—Moor Lane—Fore St 1939 (1970) map","description":"\u003cp align=\"left\"\u003eCharles Goad Insurance Plan of London, sheet 23 [Moorgate Station, London Wall, Moor Lane and Fore Street]\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 23, covers Moorgate Station, Moor Lane and London Wall (EC2), catching the post-war City in mid-construction. In the Moorgate Station redevelopment, offices and railway were being remade together, and the sheet shows new buildings over the railway platforms under construction in November 1970, which is its latest dated correction. Britannic House on Ropemaker Street, BP's 35-storey tower of 1967, became CityPoint in 2000 after BP left in 1991. St Alphage House, a London Wall slab of 1962, was demolished from 2013 to make way for London Wall Place. Milton Court, shown here as the City public services building and fire station, came down in 2008 for the Guildhall School's performance and teaching building of 2013, with music and drama replacing municipal services. The sheet also names the National Telephone Exchange and the Stock Exchange offices. Goad's plans were made to assess property and fire risk, and they were kept current with pasted overlays recording new uses, altered layouts, demolition and rebuilding.
