Charles Goad Insurance Plan of London, sheet 128 [Farringdon Road, Clerkenwell Road, Bowling Green Lane and St Peter's Italian Church]
Goad's fire insurance plan of London, sheet 128, covers Clerkenwell and Farringdon Road (EC1), where St Peter's Italian Church, consecrated in 1863, still anchors London's Italian community and its July processione. The sheet also shows Lubetkin's Grade I Finsbury Health Centre of 1935–8, which still treats patients. Through the school for printing, the Hatch, Pinner & Co. Ltd bookbinders' warehouse and numerous printing premises, it traces the book and print trades that lie behind Clerkenwell's design businesses and showrooms today. From 1976 until it left for King's Cross in 2008, the Guardian followed these trades at 119 Farringdon Road, and The Ray offices of 2019 now fill the site. Peabody Buildings (Clerkenwell Estate) and GPO offices also appear on the sheet. The plans were compiled for property and fire-risk assessment, and they carry pasted slips recording new uses, altered layouts, demolition and rebuilding. The last dated corrections, from March 1970, mark the first floor of 68 Farringdon Road, in block 1144, as vacant. The sheet was resurveyed and reissued in July 1942, 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 Clerkenwell Road, Bowling Green Lane, Northampton Road, Baker's Row, Warner Street, Ray Street, Back Hill, Herbal Hill and Topham Street.
