Charles Goad Insurance Plan of London, sheet 138 [Old Street, Goswell Road, Golden Lane and the Golden Lane Estate]
Goad's fire insurance plan of London, sheet 138, covers Old Street, Goswell Road and Golden Lane (EC1), where the rag trade met council housing. In the sheet's day, gown and costume factories, textile warehouses and the College of Fashion Clothing Technology made clothing an industrial and technical occupation here, far from the West End's shops. The London College of Fashion kept a Golden Lane site until it moved to Stratford in 2023. The Golden Lane Estate swimming pool, Crescent House, Hatfield House and Basterfield House are Chamberlin, Powell and Bon's work of 1957–62, and they were listed in 1997. The sheet also shows the Sir Stafford Cripps Estate, Finsbury Borough Council's three twelve-storey blocks approved in 1951, and it names British Olivetti premises and HM Stationery Office. Made for weighing property and fire risk, the sheet carries pasted slips recording changed uses, new layouts, demolition and rebuilding, and its latest dated correction is March 1970. It was resurveyed and reissued in June 1960, with a 1960 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 Bastwick Street, Ludlow Street, Gee Street, Central Street, Crescent Row, Memel Street, Baltic Street, Hatfield Street, Domingo Street and Honduras Street.
