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-43-ec1-smithfield-st-bartholomew-s-hosp-cloth-fair-1950-1969-map-p-9-001107","title":"Goad London 43—EC1—Smithfield—St Bartholomew's Hosp—Cloth Fair 1950 (1969) map","description":"\u003cp align=\"left\"\u003eCharles Goad Insurance Plan of London, sheet 43 [St Bartholomew-the-Great, St Bartholomew's Hospital, Cloth Fair and Bartholomew Close]\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 43, covers St Bartholomew's and Little Britain (EC1), where Rahere's hospital and priory church of 1123 still stand. The sheet shows the St Bartholomew's Hospital in-patients department, nurses' home and swimming pool, which then made the district strongly institutional. The hospital saw off closure in the 1990s and was rebuilt by 2016. In Arthur Conan Doyle’s A Study in Scarlet (1887), Sherlock Holmes and Dr Watson first meet in a laboratory at St Bartholomew’s Hospital. St Bartholomew the Great staged the final wedding in Four Weddings and a Funeral, while 41–42 Cloth Fair, which date from about 1614, are the City's only houses to survive the Great Fire. The headquarters of the insurers' London Salvage Corps, built on Aldersgate Street in 1960, was demolished after the corps disbanded in 1984. Former hospital buildings around Little Britain and Bartholomew Close are now Barts Square, completed in 2020, with homes, offices, shops and restaurants. Goad's plans were compiled to rate property and fire risk, and they were kept current with pasted slips recording new uses, altered layouts, demolition and rebuilding. The sheet was resurveyed and reissued in April 1950, with a 1950 copyright date, and it carries a latest dated correction of September 1969.
