Here, printers, clothing factories and textile warehouses stood alongside tea-packing and blending works, cabinetmakers' supplies and furniture workshops. Ridgways' tea-packing and blending works belonged to Queen Victoria's tea blenders, who were granted a royal warrant in 1886 and whose Her Majesty's Blend is still sold. St Michael's Church on Mark Street, designed by James Brooks and dating from 1865, closed in 1964 and was an architectural salvage showroom from 1978 to 2019. In the sheet's day, Greenman's cabinetmakers' supplies, Victoria Chambers, the Post Office Training School and furniture factories and other furniture premises filled a district that media and technology later took over. The sheet was amended for fire-risk assessment with pasted overlays recording new uses, altered layouts and rebuilding. Its latest dated corrections, from March 1970, include vacancy and construction annotations. Resurveyed and reissued in June 1954, with a 1954 copyright date, the sheet belongs to a group whose key plans were still being corrected in October 1970 and March 1971. Other streets on the sheet include Tabernacle Square, Tabernacle Street, Singer Street, Leonard Street, Leonard Square, Paul Street, Luke Street, Willow Street, Blackall Street, Garden Walk and Kiffen Street.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Antiquemapsandprints.com","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54371744907611,"sku":"P-9-001152","price":180.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0923\/9583\/1643\/files\/P-9-001152a_59db2539-722b-44fd-84d2-51a3683628a3.jpg?v=1792149095"},{"product_id":"goad-london-148-ec2-shoreditch-town-hall-old-st-curtain-road-1938-1970-map-p-9-001155","title":"Goad London 148—EC2—Shoreditch—Town Hall—Old St—Curtain Road 1938 (1970) map","description":"\u003cp align=\"left\"\u003eCharles Goad Insurance Plan of London, sheet 148 [Shoreditch: Curtain Road, Old Street, Rivington Street and Shoreditch Town Hall]\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 148, covers Shoreditch Town Hall, Hoxton Square and Curtain Road (EC2 and EC1), where cabinet factories, upholstery workshops and timber storage then made the furniture trade unmistakable. The Town Hall of 1866 lost its council when Hackney was formed in 1965. The Shoreditch Town Hall Trust took it on in 1997 and now runs it as an arts venue. Hoxton Square, which dates from 1683, held the White Cube gallery from 2000 to 2012 and is now home to bars and offices. The sheet also names the London County Council Technical School, a twine and paper warehouse, Albert Buildings, furniture factories, and Brown Bros Ltd's garage, repairs and stores building and club. It was amended for fire-risk assessment with pasted slips recording new uses and rebuilding. Its latest dated correction, of March 1970, marks an H.W. warehouse with concrete floors on Charlotte Road under construction.

Its premises then included Brown Brothers' motor-trade warehouses, furniture and clothing factories, Brodies' ships' stores and the London Electricity Board's Hearn Street substation. The Security Express van park served the Shoreditch depot of the 1983 robbery, which was then Britain's biggest theft of cash. The London Midland railway viaduct lost its trains when Broad Street closed in 1986, and today it carries Village Underground's rooftop tube carriages above a venue that opened in 2007. In 2012 Hewett Street yielded the Curtain Theatre of 1577, Romeo and Juliet's playhouse. Kept current for fire-risk assessment with pasted overlays recording new uses and rebuilding, the sheet carries March 1970 vacancy annotations as its latest dated corrections. It was resurveyed and reissued in August 1950, with a 1950 copyright date, and the key plans acquired with it carry corrections as late as October 1970 and March 1971.
