The flagship was there from 1994 until early 2021, and IKEA followed from 1 May 2025. That succession shows the changing forms of mass-market shopping, while the gown factories and cloth warehouses that then stood behind Oxford Street reveal its less visible manufacturing and wholesale economy. At 48 Margaret Street, however, the map's clothing-trade labels conceal the Speakeasy, the musicians' club of 1966–78 where the Jimi Hendrix Experience performed on 19 January 1967. Its address is identifiable, but the club itself is not named or recorded as such. C\u0026amp;A Modes, which had been in Britain since 1922, closed all 109 of its British stores in 2000–01, and the Midland Bank was renamed HSBC in June 1999. These working sheets were compiled to assess property and fire risk, and they were kept current with pasted overlays recording changes of use, altered layouts, demolition and new building. The latest dated correction identified here is a vacancy note behind 233–235 Oxford Street, dated November 1968. The sheet was resurveyed and reissued in September 1952, with a 1952 copyright date, and a key plan covering this area, acquired with the same group of maps, records corrections to October 1970. Other streets on the sheet include Regent Street, Great Portland Street, Great Titchfield Street, Margaret Street, Great Castle Street, Market Place, Argyll Street, Little Argyll Street, Hills Place, Ramillies Street and Ramillies Place.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Antiquemapsandprints.com","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54371695722843,"sku":"P-9-001099","price":200.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0923\/9583\/1643\/files\/P-9-001099a_022d8667-240d-422a-a7b0-b03b4dd17d0f.jpg?v=1792148988"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.antiquemapsandprints.com\/fr\/collections\/hills-place.oembed","provider":"Antiquemapsandprints.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
