The Honourable Artillery Company, the Army's oldest regiment, was chartered in 1537, and it has drilled there since the seventeenth century and still holds the ground. On the sheet, BP House, Burmah House, City Wall House, Finsbury Court, Lloyds Bank and the computer centre at Rambler House show a service economy taking hold. Yet workshops and stores still survived among the office blocks at the time. Gavrelle House at 2 Bunhill Row, then government offices, is now the University of Law's Moorgate campus. A slip behind B.P. House in block 245 is annotated 'Admission Refused Nov: 1961'. The plan was compiled to rate fire risk and stayed in service through pasted overlays logging new uses, altered layouts, demolition and rebuilding. Its latest dated correction is a basement and first-floor vacancy note of November 1970 at Evelyn House, 101 Finsbury Pavement. The sheet was reissued in November 1934, with a 1949 copyright date, and it belongs to a group whose key plans were still being corrected in October 1970 and March 1971. Other streets on the sheet include Finsbury Street, Ropemaker Street, Milton Street and Moor Lane.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Antiquemapsandprints.com","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54371755786587,"sku":"P-9-001194","price":150.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0923\/9583\/1643\/files\/P-9-001194a_bc02b2b7-cea7-4f39-a057-0cdd9e03d151.jpg?v=1792149206","url":"https:\/\/www.antiquemapsandprints.com\/products\/goad-london-25-ec1-ec2-artillery-ground-chiswell-st-finsbury-sq-1934-1970-map-p-9-001194","provider":"Antiquemapsandprints.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
