Lincoln's Inn Hall and Lincoln's Inn Library, both opened by Queen Victoria in 1845, are still in daily use, and the Ashworth Centre was added beneath the Hall's terrace in 2018. New Square, Old Square, Stone Buildings and Old Buildings remain chambers beside the Lincoln's Inn war memorial. Facing the Fields, the Land Registry Office shown on the sheet is now LSE's Sir Arthur Lewis Building, which was converted for teaching in 2013 as the university expanded into former government offices. The sheet also names the Council of Legal Education chambers, and the New Court overlay labels the new building \"To be offices\", recording an office development within the Inn. The plan was prepared to assess fire risk, and it carries pasted revisions recording new uses, altered layouts, demolition and rebuilding, although none of the revisions on this sheet carries a date. The sheet was resurveyed and reissued in January 1946, with a 1950 copyright date, and the key plans acquired with it carry corrections as late as October 1970 and March 1971. Other streets on the sheet include Serle Street, Portugal Street and Carey Street.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Antiquemapsandprints.com","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54371755819355,"sku":"P-9-001195","price":210.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0923\/9583\/1643\/files\/P-9-001195a_81a7ee6e-ec57-4d1f-8405-d8a0175d6569.jpg?v=1792149211"},{"product_id":"goad-london-36-ec4-wc2-holborn-staple-inn-chancery-ln-old-square-1940-1969-map-p-9-001204","title":"Goad London 36—EC4\/WC2—Holborn—Staple Inn—Chancery Ln—Old Square 1940 (1969) map","description":"\u003cp align=\"left\"\u003eCharles Goad Insurance Plan of London, sheet 36 [Holborn, Chancery Lane, Staple Inn and Lincoln's Inn]\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 36, covers Holborn and Staple Inn (EC4, WC2 and WC1), where Staple Inn's timber-framed front of 1585 still faces High Holborn. Today the Inn's Hall houses the Institute and Faculty of Actuaries. Chancery Lane Safe Deposit, which the sheet labels beneath the office accommodation, lives on as the London Silver Vaults. Dealers there still sell antique and contemporary silver, an unusually enduring trade in this legal district. The sheet also names the Patent Office library, whose collection is now part of the British Library. It names the Chancery Lane Underground Station booking offices, National Westminster Bank, the Sun Alliance offices and Lincoln's Inn Chapel as well. These 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 Heron House office development is marked under construction in September 1969, matching the date of the Breams Buildings vacancy annotation, and this is the latest dated correction. The sheet was resurveyed and reissued in February 1940, with a 1950 copyright date, and the key plans acquired with it carry corrections as late as October 1970 and March 1971.
