The school moved east along the river in 1986, and its Embankment building of 1883, which still has the school's name over the door, became part of J.P. Morgan's office and conference complex. Unilever House, finished in 1933, is still Unilever's, whereas in the sheet's day the Spicers offices on New Bridge Street housed the paper makers taken over by Reed in 1963. The Blackfriars Station subway, Blackfriars underpass and slip-road overlays record the remaking of the riverfront road system beside the school and large commercial buildings. The station itself was rebuilt in 2009-12 to span the River Thames. The plan was kept current for insurers assessing property and fire risk, and it carries pasted revisions recording changed uses, altered layouts, demolition and rebuilding, though none of them is dated. The sheet was resurveyed and reissued in February 1948, with a 1950 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 Tudor Street, John Carpenter Street, Watergate and Kingscote Street.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Antiquemapsandprints.com","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54371756867931,"sku":"P-9-001197","price":240.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0923\/9583\/1643\/files\/P-9-001197a_d07451ac-bac3-4fd1-8371-a7cbc40dd354.jpg?v=1792149217","url":"https:\/\/www.antiquemapsandprints.com\/products\/goad-london-29-ec4-blackfriars-bridge-unilever-house-embankment-1948-c1969-map-p-9-001197","provider":"Antiquemapsandprints.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
