The sheet shows Booth's distillery and the Tanqueray Gordon \u0026amp; Co. bonded warehouse, revealing what was then a centre of spirits production and storage beside the Metropolitan Railway. The distillery has gone, and its Turnmill Street offices came down in 1971, although the decorated façade was re-erected at 24 Britton Street in 1974–7. A former Booth's warehouse on the Clerkenwell Road corner, still shown here as bonded warehousing, later became the Turnmills nightclub. The Chemical Brothers were residents during its Heavenly years, and they and Fatboy Slim returned on 22 March 2008 during its closing weekend. The club closed in 2008 and the warehouse was replaced by offices. The Farringdon Street and High Holborn Station approaches shown on the sheet served the 1863 terminus of the world's first underground railway, which has been an Elizabeth line interchange since May 2022. St John's Public Gardens also appears on the sheet. The plans were drawn up for fire-risk assessment, and they carry pasted overlays recording new uses, altered layouts, demolition and rebuilding. The last dated correction on this sheet is March 1970. The sheet was resurveyed and reissued in July 1942, with a 1950 copyright date, and the key plans acquired with it carry corrections as late as October 1970 and March 1971. Other streets on the sheet include Clerkenwell Road, Farringdon Road and Benjamin Street.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Antiquemapsandprints.com","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54371727638875,"sku":"P-9-001135","price":170.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0923\/9583\/1643\/files\/P-9-001135a_5c43df50-9059-454e-ae0d-85268b6b3d27.jpg?v=1792149057"},{"product_id":"goad-london-129-ec1-clerkenwell-green-st-james-s-church-1944-1970-old-map-p-9-001137","title":"Goad London 129—EC1—Clerkenwell Green—St James's Church 1944 (1970) old map","description":"\u003cp align=\"left\"\u003eCharles Goad Insurance Plan of London, sheet 129 [Clerkenwell Green, Clerkenwell Close, St James's Church and the Hugh Myddelton Schools]\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 129, covers Clerkenwell Green and St James (EC1), the area around St James Clerkenwell, James Carr's church of 1792. It stands on the medieval nunnery site above St James's public gardens and is still an active parish. In the sheet's day, the Hugh Myddelton Schools occupied a substantial site north of the church. They were built in 1893 over the vaults of the demolished House of Detention and closed in 1971, and the main building is now the Kingsway Place apartments, with its distinctive architecture intact. On the Green, the Welsh Charity School of 1738 has housed the Marx Memorial Library since 1933. The sheet also names the Advance Foundry, Woodbridge House and a medical mission. Printers in Clerkenwell Close and St James Walk, Mono Pumps' testing premises and a time-recorder works reveal a concentration of skilled production among the houses and institutions. Former industrial buildings across Clerkenwell have since become offices, homes and design studios, while printing continues locally, now including digital production. These plans were produced to rate property and fire risk, and they carry pasted overlays noting new uses, altered layouts, demolition and rebuilding. The last dated correction on this sheet is March 1970. Resurveyed and reissued in June 1944, with a 1950 copyright date, the sheet belongs to a group whose key plans were still being corrected in October 1970 and March 1971.

The Gate has been the headquarters of the Order of St John since the 1870s. It holds the Order's museum, which was renovated in 2010, while the St John Ambulance Brigade headquarters has been rebuilt on St John's Lane. St John's Church was burnt out in May 1941 and rebuilt by 1958 over its twelfth-century crypt, and it keeps the Cloister Gardens from that restoration. Nearby, the sheet records Unilever's maintenance works, GPO engineers' offices, lift engineers, printers and non-ferrous-metal storage, revealing what was then a practical industrial setting. Since the 1980s that setting has turned to offices, design studios and showrooms, a change of work in a district long known for skilled trades. The plans were compiled to assess fire risk, and they carry pasted slips recording new uses, altered layouts, demolition and rebuilding. The last dated correction on this sheet is March 1970.
