The Bank's offices came down in 2007, and Jean Nouvel's replacement, opened in 2010, combines offices with shops, restaurants and a public rooftop terrace beside St Paul's. The St Paul's Cathedral Choir School of 1967 incorporates the surviving Wren tower of St Augustine's. The Royal Exchange Assurance offices on the sheet recall an insurer of 1720 that was absorbed into Guardian Royal Exchange in 1968 and into AXA in 1999. The sheet also names Gateway House, Wiggins Teape and Lloyds Bank. This reissue supersedes the edition of November 1933, marked \"obsolete\", which records Bank of England buildings and Gateway House under construction in November 1955. Here the sheet shows the consolidated complex and altered streets in place of the earlier warehouses. The plan was produced to assess fire risk, and it carries pasted revisions recording changes of use, altered layouts, demolition and new building, although no individual correction carries a date. The sheet was resurveyed and reissued in November 1956, with a 1956 copyright date, and it belongs to a group whose key plans were still being corrected in October 1970 and March 1971. Other streets on the sheet include Bread Street, Watling Street and Cannon Street.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Antiquemapsandprints.com","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54371752608091,"sku":"P-9-001179","price":160.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0923\/9583\/1643\/files\/P-9-001179a_e8d825d3-abad-4705-afc5-04faa0ed9e11.jpg?v=1792149174"},{"product_id":"goad-london-11-ec4-cheapside-bank-of-england-site-watling-street-1933-1955-map-p-9-001180","title":"Goad London 11—EC4—Cheapside—Bank of England site—Watling Street 1933 (1955) map","description":"\u003cp align=\"left\"\u003eCharles Goad Insurance Plan of London, sheet 11 [Cheapside, Friday Street, Watling Street and the Bank of England building site — obsolete copy]\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 11, covers Cheapside and Old Change (EC4) in the edition marked \"obsolete\", and it catches this ground in the midst of change. Beneath the clearance notices, the textile and clothing warehouses on the sheet preserve the trading character of Old Change and Friday Street. They were replaced by the Bank of England complex in a shift from merchandise to offices. That complex has itself gone, demolished in 2007 for One New Change, so this ground has been cleared twice over. The Church of St Augustine with St Faith was bombed in 1941 and never rebuilt, but its Wren tower survives in the St Paul's Cathedral Choir School of 1967. The sheet also names St Matthew's Churchyard, the Sun Life Assurance Society offices and the Information Bureau. It records the cleared Bank of England site under construction and Gateway House being built, while the replacement edition maps the consolidated New Change complex over these streets and plots. The plan was made to assess fire risk, and it carries pasted overlays recording new uses, altered layouts and rebuilding. The sheet was reissued in November 1933, with a 1949 copyright date. Its latest dated correction is November 1955, and the replacement's reissue in November 1956 places the end of its regular updating at about 1956.
