On a printed base headed July 1922, with a 1950 copyright date, this edition preserves smaller industrial plots and the works of the Ardath Tobacco Company, makers of State Express 555 cigarettes. Among its post-war amendments is a British Road Services garage. The surrounding printing, furniture, tobacco, paper and plastics premises reveal a broader manufacturing and warehousing district beyond Ardath's works. The later shift to offices and car parking changed the character of whole groups of small industrial plots, as the replacement edition described below makes clear. Wesley's Chapel of 1778 is still a working church, with Wesley's house and grave. The sheet also names Royal London House, Essex County Council offices and the City of London Territorial Regiment headquarters. It catches renamings in progress too, as Paradise Street became Clere Street, Castle Street became Epworth Street and Hill Street became Bonhill Street. Kept by insurers rating property and fire risk, the sheet carries pasted overlays recording changes of use, altered layouts, demolition and new building, and vacancy notes of June 1954 are its latest dated correction. The replacement edition, reissued in June 1956, reorganised these blocks as larger offices and car parking, with Standard House and changed uses on the former tobacco site. That reissue ended this sheet's regular updating in about 1956. Other streets on the sheet include Tabernacle Street, Paul Street, Worship Street, Wilson Street, Christopher Street and Platina Street.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Antiquemapsandprints.com","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54371740483931,"sku":"P-9-001148","price":160.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0923\/9583\/1643\/files\/P-9-001148a_6ae0a1d1-bbdb-4f20-84e4-ac28590500ee.jpg?v=1792149091"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.antiquemapsandprints.com\/fr\/collections\/clere-street-formerly-paradise-street.oembed","provider":"Antiquemapsandprints.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
