The Holborn Viaduct Station railway approaches dominate the sheet, with railway arches and workshops beneath them. The viaduct and bridge across Ludgate Hill were demolished in 1990 so that the line could run in tunnel to City Thameslink, and their removal cleared a major obstruction. On Farringdon Street, the Congregational Memorial Hall of 1875, where the Labour Party was founded in 1900, came down in 1968. Caroone House replaced it in 1972 and was itself demolished in 2004, to be followed by 5 Fleet Place in 2007. The sheet also names the Sun Life Assurance offices, a London Electricity Board substation, Hillgate House and Modern Court. The plan was compiled for fire-risk assessment and kept up to date with pasted overlays recording new uses, altered layouts, demolition and new building. Its later vacancy annotations, of November 1970, are the latest dated correction. The sheet was resurveyed and reissued in November 1960, with a 1960 copyright date, and it belongs to a group whose key plans were still being corrected in October 1970 and March 1971. Other streets on the sheet include Fleet Lane, Old Seacoal Lane, Seacoal Lane, Old Bailey, New Bridge Street and Pilgrim Street.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Antiquemapsandprints.com","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54371752083803,"sku":"P-9-001176","price":210.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0923\/9583\/1643\/files\/P-9-001176a_1649a85d-8db2-4688-a41b-cb8639e65ebf.jpg?v=1792149166","url":"https:\/\/www.antiquemapsandprints.com\/fr\/products\/goad-london-8-ec4-ludgate-circus-ludgate-hill-old-bailey-1960-1970-map-p-9-001176","provider":"Antiquemapsandprints.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
