In January 1958 a fire in Union Cold Storage's basement beneath the Smithfield Poultry \u0026amp; Meat Market killed two firemen, and the Poultry Market was rebuilt by 1963 under a concrete dome. The Central Markets' General and Poultry Market buildings are now becoming London Museum, due to open from November 2026, with a major cultural use replacing food storage and sale. In 2024, however, the City abandoned the meat market's move to Dagenham, and traders are staying until at least 2028. Snow Hill Police Station was sold in 2020 for use as a hotel. Goad's plans were produced to assess property and fire risk, and they were kept current with pasted overlays noting changes of use, altered layouts, demolition and rebuilding. The sheet was resurveyed and reissued in February 1952, with a 1952 copyright date. Its latest dated correction is September 1969, and key plans acquired with the group were corrected as late as October 1970 and March 1971. Other streets on the sheet include Charterhouse Street, Farringdon Street, Smithfield Street, West Smithfield, Holborn Viaduct, Giltspur Street, Cock Lane, Hosier Lane, East Poultry Avenue and West Poultry Avenue.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Antiquemapsandprints.com","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54371703587163,"sku":"P-9-001106","price":190.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0923\/9583\/1643\/files\/P-9-001106a_4f02eec3-bfc0-4c64-b65a-032c2e62c4fa.jpg?v=1792148994"},{"product_id":"goad-london-45-ec1-hatton-garden-holborn-circus-ely-pl-shoe-lane-1950-1969-map-p-9-001109","title":"Goad London 45—EC1—Hatton Garden—Holborn Circus—Ely Pl—Shoe Lane 1950 (1969) map","description":"\u003cp align=\"left\"\u003eCharles Goad Insurance Plan of London, sheet 45 [Hatton Garden, Farringdon Road, Holborn Circus and Ely Place]\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 45, covers Hatton Garden and Ely Place (EC1), and it shows jewellers' workshops beside a gated medieval chapel. Jewellery workshops, engraving and photo-lithographic printing then packed the premises around Hatton Garden and Saffron Hill. This was the production behind the shopfronts, in a district where jewellery making and dealing still underpin the local economy. St Etheldreda's Church, the Bishops of Ely's chapel of the 1280s, has been Catholic again since 1874, and Ely Place remains gated and watched by its own beadle. Dickens housed the Plornishes in Bleeding Heart Yard and Fagin in Field Lane below Saffron Hill, where the former Punch printworks is now flats. The Atlantic House name survives on Holborn Viaduct as Hogan Lovells' London office, and the sheet also marks a GPO garage. Goad's plans were kept for assessing property and fire risk, and they were updated with pasted overlays recording changes of use, altered layouts, demolition and rebuilding.

All of this has given way to the Plumtree Court development, which opened as Goldman Sachs' European headquarters in 2019. The exchange's Dorothy Annan murals of 1960 went to the Barbican in 2013, and the Standard stopped daily printing in 2024. St Andrew Holborn, which was gutted in 1941 and rebuilt to Wren's design, remains a guild church. The sheet also names the Daily Mirror newspaper offices at Holborn Circus, Thavies Inn, the Holborn Viaduct vaults and the Prince Albert statue. Goad's working plans were made for property and fire-risk assessment, and they carried pasted overlays recording new uses, altered layouts, demolition and new building. The latest dated correction on this sheet is a September 1969 vacancy annotation south of Holborn Viaduct. The sheet was resurveyed and reissued in February 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.

Here the sheet preserves that vanished City terminus, Holborn Viaduct Station, with the Southern Region railway garages and repair spaces beneath its railway. The station closed in 1990 as Thameslink's replacement route and underground station transformed this approach to the commercial centre. The Central Criminal Court still sits, extended by its South Block of 1968 to 1972. St Sepulchre's Church, the City's largest parish church, survives too, as does Cutlers' Hall of 1888 on Warwick Lane. The sheet also names Terminus Chambers and the wine and spirit vaults beneath Holborn Viaduct. Goad's working plans were prepared for property and fire-risk assessment, and they carried pasted overlays recording new uses, altered layouts, demolition and new building. The latest dated corrections on this sheet are three vacancy annotations dated September 1969, two between Turnagain Lane and Newcastle Close and one at 23-24 Old Bailey.
