Johnson Matthey, refiners to the Bank of England, had been here since 1822 before moving its head office out in 1975 and selling up in 1998. Yet the trade stayed, and nearly 300 jewellery businesses work here today. When the sheet was in use, Omega watch workshops sat among substantial printing and engraving premises, including the Sun Engraving Company and the Bradbury Agnew printing works. Their neighbours then also included the Cable and Wireless workshops and laboratories and the post office in Global House. On Saffron Hill a 1930s print works became the Ziggurat, which has been flats since 1997, and its industrial floor space turned into sought-after homes, while Leather Lane still keeps its market. The plans were made to assess property and fire risk, and they were kept current with pasted slips recording new uses, altered layouts, demolition and rebuilding. The last dated correction on this sheet, from March 1970, notes a vacancy at 14 Hatton Wall. Resurveyed and reissued in June 1956, with a 1956 copyright date, the sheet belongs to a group whose key plans were still being corrected in October 1970 and March 1971.

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.

The sheet also shows Lubetkin's Grade I Finsbury Health Centre of 1935–8, which still treats patients. Through the school for printing, the Hatch, Pinner \u0026amp; Co. Ltd bookbinders' warehouse and numerous printing premises, it traces the book and print trades that lie behind Clerkenwell's design businesses and showrooms today. From 1976 until it left for King's Cross in 2008, the Guardian followed these trades at 119 Farringdon Road, and The Ray offices of 2019 now fill the site. Peabody Buildings (Clerkenwell Estate) and GPO offices also appear on the sheet. The plans were compiled for property and fire-risk assessment, and they carry pasted slips recording new uses, altered layouts, demolition and rebuilding. The last dated corrections, from March 1970, mark the first floor of 68 Farringdon Road, in block 1144, as vacant.

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.

It still houses over forty Brothers, and it opened its museum in January 2017. St Bartholomew's Medical College, shown with its medical laboratories and lecture hall, merged into Queen Mary in 1995 as Barts and The London, which keeps the Charterhouse Square campus. North of Clerkenwell Road, by contrast, clothing factories and textile and leather trades then filled the blocks beside the Allied Breweries garage, marking a sharp division between the district's working and institutional halves.
