It shows the quarter in the days when clothing manufacture and a Cowper Street optical-goods factory stood among schools and public offices. The Central Foundation Schools have been on Cowper Street since 1869 and survive as Central Foundation Boys' School. Shoreditch County Court on Leonard Street occupied the 1881 building of Finsbury Technical College, which was England's first, and the court itself closed in 2006. The Board of Trade Registration Offices on City Road housed Companies House from 1963 until it moved to Cardiff in 1976. On the sheet, S. Greenman Ltd's cabinet sundries and the Post Office Training School are a world away from the technology and media businesses now filling Shoreditch. Made to assess property and fire risk, the plans were kept current with pasted overlays recording new uses and rebuilding, and the latest dated corrections here are March 1970 vacancy annotations. The sheet was resurveyed and reissued in June 1946, 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 Singer Street, Tabernacle Street and Clere Street.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Antiquemapsandprints.com","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54371743924571,"sku":"P-9-001151","price":160.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0923\/9583\/1643\/files\/P-9-001151a_4e95e43c-47fa-49de-bba8-75549c48ec9d.jpg?v=1792090241","url":"https:\/\/www.antiquemapsandprints.com\/products\/goad-london-144-ec2-shoreditch-leonard-old-streets-city-road-1946-1970-map-p-9-001151","provider":"Antiquemapsandprints.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
