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_2a53576f-3032-45b4-a8a7-6ea213e23fba.jpg?v=1792149082"},{"product_id":"goad-london-24-ec1-ec2-barbican-whitbread-brewery-chiswell-st-1939-1970-map-p-9-001193","title":"Goad London 24—EC1\/EC2—Barbican—Whitbread Brewery—Chiswell St 1939 (1970) map","description":"\u003cp align=\"left\"\u003eCharles Goad Insurance Plan of London, sheet 24 [Chiswell Street, Whitecross Street, Whitbread's Brewery and Northampton College (City University)]\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 24, covers Chiswell Street, Whitecross Street and the Barbican (EC1 and EC2), with Whitbread's brewery at its heart. The sheet shows porter and tun rooms, stores, brewery yards and a brewery fire brigade station, recording brewing on the site that Samuel Whitbread took in 1750. Beer production ended in 1976, and the listed buildings now host events as The Brewery, with rooms built for beer turned over to entertainment and hospitality. Beside the brewery, the sheet marks the Cromwell Tower footprint and cleared Barbican plots of the high-rise estate then emerging. The tower was finished in 1973, and the estate was listed in 2001. The sheet also names the buildings of City University (Northampton College of Advanced Technology), and Whitecross Street's market still trades at lunchtime. The plan was drawn for insurers weighing property and fire risk, and it carries pasted slips noting changed uses, altered layouts, demolition and new building. Its latest dated correction, from November 1970, marks part of Whitbread's tun rooms as disused. The sheet was resurveyed and reissued in November 1939, with a 1939 copyright date, and the key plans acquired with the group were corrected as late as October 1970 and March 1971.
