It shows the quarter in the days when clothing manufacture and a Cowper Street optical-goods factory stood among schools and public offices. The Central Foundation Schools have been on Cowper Street since 1869 and survive as Central Foundation Boys' School. Shoreditch County Court on Leonard Street occupied the 1881 building of Finsbury Technical College, which was England's first, and the court itself closed in 2006. The Board of Trade Registration Offices on City Road housed Companies House from 1963 until it moved to Cardiff in 1976. On the sheet, S. Greenman Ltd's cabinet sundries and the Post Office Training School are a world away from the technology and media businesses now filling Shoreditch. Made to assess property and fire risk, the plans were kept current with pasted overlays recording new uses and rebuilding, and the latest dated corrections here are March 1970 vacancy annotations. The sheet was resurveyed and reissued in June 1946, 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 Singer Street, Tabernacle Street and Clere Street.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Antiquemapsandprints.com","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54371743924571,"sku":"P-9-001151","price":160.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0923\/9583\/1643\/files\/P-9-001151a_f15f35f2-223b-4584-89df-5036988b38f7.jpg?v=1792149097"},{"product_id":"goad-london-145-ec2-shoreditch-paul-old-great-eastern-streets-1954-1970-map-p-9-001152","title":"Goad London 145—EC2—Shoreditch—Paul, Old \u0026 Great Eastern Streets 1954 (1970) map","description":"\u003cp align=\"left\"\u003eCharles Goad Insurance Plan of London, sheet 145 [Shoreditch: Great Eastern Street, Old Street, Leonard Street and Rivington Street]\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 145, covers Shoreditch's Great Eastern Street, Old Street and Rivington Street (EC2), and it reveals the productive economy that then lay behind them. 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"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.antiquemapsandprints.com\/fr\/collections\/singer-street.oembed","provider":"Antiquemapsandprints.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
