The roundabout, the sunken Old Street Underground Station booking hall and the pedestrian subways appear as 1960s work pasted onto the 1954 base, and they record the remaking of a crossroads later nicknamed \"Silicon Roundabout\". The sheet shows Sutton Model Dwellings, which were built in 1911 from William Sutton's bequest for low-rented housing, surviving around the roundabout together with General Post Office offices, Paterson Court and Hudson's House. Printers, clothing and quilt factories around Corsham Street, and engineers and tool makers around Brunswick Place and Cranwood Street, show the manufacturing economy that preceded the technology cluster. Today the same district is associated with software and digital-media businesses, a change from the making of physical goods to the provision of digital services. The roundabout did not last, however. Transport for London began removing it in 2019, and since January 2021 traffic has run two ways through a redesigned junction. Made to assess property and fire risk, these plans were kept up to date with pasted overlays recording new uses and rebuilding. The latest dated corrections on this sheet are March 1970 vacancy annotations. The sheet was resurveyed and reissued in June 1954, with a 1954 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 East Road, Peerless Street, Baldwin Street, Brunswick Place, Cranwood Street, Corsham Street, Chart Street and Staff Street.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Antiquemapsandprints.com","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54371746349403,"sku":"P-9-001153","price":180.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0923\/9583\/1643\/files\/P-9-001153a_4167fc12-f5cd-40f5-ab01-5f113f9b4fdd.jpg?v=1792149099","url":"https:\/\/www.antiquemapsandprints.com\/products\/goad-london-146a-ec1-shoreditch-old-street-east-city-roads-1954-1970-map-p-9-001153","provider":"Antiquemapsandprints.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
