Charles Goad Insurance Plan of London, sheet 70 [Bishopsgate, Houndsditch, Petticoat Lane (Middlesex Street) and the Port of London Authority warehouses]
Goad's fire insurance plan of London, sheet 70, covers Devonshire Square and Cutler Street (EC2 and E1), where carpet storage, wine vaults, bottling and tobacco then filled the Port of London Authority's Cutler Street and New Street warehouses. The East India Company began these warehouses in 1768, and the PLA left in 1976. Seifert's conversion of 1978–82, known as Cutlers Gardens, is now Devonshire Square, whose offices, restaurants and shops keep the warehouse architecture although the storage and handling of imported goods has gone. The City of London Police Station on Bishopsgate is now the force's only station, and the Sir John Cass College Department of Navigation left for Tower Hill in 1969. The Cavendish Telephone Exchange and the London Ambulance training school are also named on the sheet, and Petticoat Lane market still fills Middlesex Street on Sundays. The plans were made to assess fire risk, and they were kept current with pasted overlays recording new uses, altered layouts, demolition and rebuilding. The sheet was resurveyed and reissued in October 1961, with a 1961 copyright date, and its latest dated correction is August 1969. Key plans acquired with the group were corrected as late as October 1970 and March 1971. Other streets on the sheet include Houndsditch, Devonshire Row, Victoria Avenue and Cock Hill.
