St Luke's, James and Hawksmoor's church of 1727–33, is marked ruinous in June 1960. It had been closed by subsidence in 1959 and was unroofed the next year. The church stood open to the sky until 2003, when it reopened as LSO St Luke's for music-making and education. The Union Glue and Gelatine Company, stables and small factories shown on the sheet record what was then a more industrial setting. The sheet also names Peabody Buildings, the Roscoe Street Estate, Roby House, Anchor House and George Gillett Court. Caslon Street honours William Caslon, the typefounder buried in the churchyard. Kept for insurers judging property and fire risk, the plan carries pasted overlays recording changed uses, altered layouts, demolition and new building. Its latest dated correction, of March 1970, shows a shop under construction. The sheet was resurveyed and reissued in June 1948, with a 1950 copyright date, and key plans acquired with the group were corrected as late as October 1970 and March 1971. Other streets on the sheet include Central Street, Mitchell Street, Helmet Row, Ironmonger Row, Golden Lane, Garrett Street, Banner Street and Roscoe Street.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Antiquemapsandprints.com","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54371736977755,"sku":"P-9-001145","price":170.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0923\/9583\/1643\/files\/P-9-001145a.jpg?v=1792090200"},{"product_id":"goad-london-140-ec1-finsbury-bath-old-streets-bunhill-row-1948-1970-map-p-9-001146","title":"Goad London 140—EC1—Finsbury—Bath \u0026 Old Streets—Bunhill Row 1948 (1970) map","description":"\u003cp align=\"left\"\u003eCharles Goad Insurance Plan of London, sheet 140 [Old Street, Bunhill Row, Bath Street and Bartholomew Square]\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 140, covers Old Street, Bartholomew Square and Bunhill Row (EC1), a quarter whose names carry two lost landmarks. Bath Street and Peerless Street recall Peerless Pool, London's first outdoor public swimming bath, which was opened by the jeweller William Kemp in 1743 and built over after 1850. Quaker Court, meanwhile, recalls the Quaker burial ground off Banner Street. The ground was used from 1661 to 1855 and has held George Fox's grave since 1691. Its Memorial Buildings were largely destroyed in 1944, and in 1965 the ground was laid out within the GLC's Banner Street estate as today's Quaker Gardens. The sheet also names Godfrey House, Paterson Court and Newland Court, together with a child welfare centre and a surgical-instrument works. Typesetters, printers, clothing factories and engravers around Old Street, Banner Street and Bartholomew Square reveal a wider concentration of skilled manufacture. The later growth of design studios and digital businesses across Clerkenwell and Old Street marks a change from producing physical goods towards designing products and handling information. Compiled so that insurers could rate property and fire risk, the plan carries pasted slips recording changed uses, new layouts, demolition and building, and its latest dated correction is March 1970. Resurveyed and reissued in June 1948, with a 1950 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 Mitchell Street, Lizard Street, Caslon Street and Leage Street.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Antiquemapsandprints.com","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54371737174363,"sku":"P-9-001146","price":170.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0923\/9583\/1643\/files\/P-9-001146a_f323bcde-72e0-4156-ac25-1f36838d80b3.jpg?v=1792090201"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.antiquemapsandprints.com\/fr\/collections\/mitchell-street.oembed","provider":"Antiquemapsandprints.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
