Charles Goad Insurance Plan of London, sheet 145 [Shoreditch: Great Eastern Street, Old Street, Leonard Street and Rivington Street]
Goad's fire insurance plan of London, sheet 145, covers Shoreditch's Great Eastern Street, Old Street and Rivington Street (EC2), and it reveals the productive economy that then lay behind them. Here, printers, clothing factories and textile warehouses stood alongside tea-packing and blending works, cabinetmakers' supplies and furniture workshops. Ridgways' tea-packing and blending works belonged to Queen Victoria's tea blenders, who were granted a royal warrant in 1886 and whose Her Majesty's Blend is still sold. St Michael's Church on Mark Street, designed by James Brooks and dating from 1865, closed in 1964 and was an architectural salvage showroom from 1978 to 2019. In the sheet's day, Greenman's cabinetmakers' supplies, Victoria Chambers, the Post Office Training School and furniture factories and other furniture premises filled a district that media and technology later took over. The sheet was amended for fire-risk assessment with pasted overlays recording new uses, altered layouts and rebuilding. Its latest dated corrections, from March 1970, include vacancy and construction annotations. Resurveyed and reissued in June 1954, with a 1954 copyright date, the sheet belongs to a group whose key plans were still being corrected in October 1970 and March 1971. Other streets on the sheet include Tabernacle Square, Tabernacle Street, Singer Street, Leonard Street, Leonard Square, Paul Street, Luke Street, Willow Street, Blackall Street, Garden Walk and Kiffen Street.
