Charles Goad Insurance Plan of London, sheet 130 [Clerkenwell: St John Street, Sekforde Street, Compton Street and the Cannon Brewery]
Goad's fire insurance plan of London, sheet 130, covers St John Street and Sekforde Street (EC1) and shows trades, brewery and university side by side. Scholl's elastic-stocking factory was the footcare firm's London headquarters from 1930 until its takeover in the late 1980s. In the sheet's day it stood by the Woodhouse Hulme meat preparation and distributing premises, cold storage and the Allied Breweries premises. Those brewery premises were the old Cannon Brewery, which stopped brewing in 1955, housed Allied until the late 1980s and became Brewery Square in 2002. This unusually varied mix shows that St John Street then made and distributed everyday necessities beside housing at Grimthorpe House and education in the City University annexes. The university was chartered in 1966, joined the University of London in 2016 and merged with St George's in 2024. The plans were made for assessing property and fire risk, and they were amended with pasted slips recording new uses, altered layouts, demolition and rebuilding. The last dated correction on this sheet is March 1970. The sheet was resurveyed and reissued in June 1944, with a 1950 copyright date, and the key plans acquired with it carry corrections as late as October 1970 and March 1971. Other streets on the sheet include Corporation Row, Percival Street, Woodbridge Street, Agdon Street, Compton Street and Aylesbury Street.
