On the sheet the plot to the gallery's west stands empty, a gap left by the destruction of Hampton's furniture store in the Blitz, and that wing opened on the site in 1991. The Leicester Square Theatre, later the Odeon West End, came down in 2015 to make way for The Londoner hotel, and the Dental Hospital closed in 1985 and is now the Hampshire hotel. The Haymarket Theatre still plays, and the Central Reference Library shown on St Martin's Street, which stands on the site of Isaac Newton's house, is still a library. The Royal Trafalgar Hotel and the Garrick Hotel are also named. Goad's plans were made to assess property and fire risk, and they were kept current by pasted slips recording changed uses, altered layouts, demolition and new building. The latest dated correction, October 1970, is a vacancy note at 12 Orange Street. The sheet was reissued in September 1938, with a 1950 copyright date, and the Volume IX key plan, acquired with the same group, records corrections to October 1970. Other streets on the sheet include Panton Street, Whitcomb Street, Irving Street, Suffolk Street, Pall Mall East, Cockspur Street, Charing Cross Road and Oxendon Street.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Antiquemapsandprints.com","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54371689759067,"sku":"P-9-001079","price":250.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0923\/9583\/1643\/files\/P-9-001079a.jpg?v=1792089909"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.antiquemapsandprints.com\/fr\/collections\/central-reference-library.oembed","provider":"Antiquemapsandprints.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
