The building benefits from being equidistant between the City of London, the world’s premier business and financial district and home to some of London’s principal landmarks such as St Paul’s Cathedral, the Bank of England and Mansion House, and the UK’s traditional legal district, home to the Old Bailey, Royal Courts of Justice and the Inns of Court. Hatton Garden, London’s renowned jewellery quarter, is located a short walk to the north. The building occupies a prominent position on the west side of Giltspur Street at its junction with West Smithfield and Hosier Lane to the north and Cock Lane to the south. The property is located in close proximity to Smithfield Market and Farringdon Station, which will benefit from direct access to the new Elizabeth Line in autumn 2019. This Midtown location has historically been synonymous with the more established occupiers from the TMT sectors such as Amazon, LinkedIn, DreamWorks, Warner Brothers and Publicis Group. However, being uniquely positioned at the convergence of Central London’s most dynamic markets with excellent connectivity, this location has attracted some of the world’s most noteworthy corporate occupiers such as JP Morgan, De Beers, Goldman Sachs, Deloitte, Unilever and Bank of America Merrill Lynch. Smithfield and Clerkenwell, arguably two of London’s most stylish and vibrant districts, offer a unique juxtaposition of new residential and commercial schemes, such as St Bart’s Square, set amongst a plethora of amenity within the rich industrial history of Smithfield. Local amenity includes Michelin-starred restaurants and some of the world’s best bars, shops and hotels amongst attractive cobbled streets and squares. 4 5 1 GILTSPUR STREET 1 GILTSPUR STREET 6 7 1 GILTSPUR STREET 1 GILTSPUR STREET COMMUNICATIONS 1 Giltspur Street benefits from excellent transport connectivity across Central London and beyond, which is set to be further enhanced with the offering of the Elizabeth Line (Crossrail) from autumn 2019.

  • DATES of TRIALS Until October 1775, and Again from December 1816

    DATES of TRIALS Until October 1775, and Again from December 1816

    DATES OF TRIALS Until October 1775, and again from December 1816, the printed Proceedings provide both the start and the end dates of each sessions. Until the 1750s, both the Gentleman’s and (especially) the London Magazine scrupulously noted the end dates of sessions, dates of subsequent Recorder’s Reports, and days of execution. From December 1775 to October 1816, I have derived the end dates of each sessions from newspaper accounts of the trials. Trials at the Old Bailey usually began on a Wednesday. And, of course, no trials were held on Sundays. ***** NAMES & ALIASES I have silently corrected obvious misspellings in the Proceedings (as will be apparent to users who hyper-link through to the trial account at the OBPO), particularly where those misspellings are confirmed in supporting documents. I have also regularized spellings where there may be inconsistencies at different appearances points in the OBPO. In instances where I have made a more radical change in the convict’s name, I have provided a documentary reference to justify the more marked discrepancy between the name used here and that which appears in the Proceedings. ***** AGE The printed Proceedings almost invariably provide the age of each Old Bailey convict from December 1790 onwards. From 1791 onwards, the Home Office’s “Criminal Registers” for London and Middlesex (HO 26) do so as well. However, no volumes in this series exist for 1799 and 1800, and those for 1828-33 inclusive (HO 26/35-39) omit the ages of the convicts. I have not comprehensively compared the ages reported in HO 26 with those given in the Proceedings, and it is not impossible that there are discrepancies between the two.

  • The Old Bailey and the Recorder of London: a Brief History

    The Old Bailey and the Recorder of London: a Brief History

    From our Patron, Simon Callow Last year I received the exceptional honour of the Freedom of the City of London. Since boyhood I have been haunted by the City, its history, its imagery, its traditions. One of the most vital of those traditions is the City's association with music. Since at least 1350, The Worshipful Company of Musicians has proudly celebrated the noble art. I vividly remember a City of London Festival when I was a youth, in which The Yeoman of the Guards was performed with full son et lumière effects at the Tower of London, and Sir William Walton was specially commissioned to write a splendid piece for the City – A Song for the Lord Mayor's Table. Since then the Barbican Concert Hall has opened, and the London Symphony Orchestra has become resident orchestra. Music is everywhere in the City, as it should be. So when last year's Lord Mayor and Lady Mayoress, Roger and Clare Gifford, asked me become a Patron of their new charity, the City Music Foundation, I said yes straight away - not only because of the ancient association of the City with music, but because it looks so keenly to the future. Its raison d'être is to help young musicians at that critical difficult early point in their careers, right at the beginning, after their training, when they attempt to launch themselves into the world. The Foundation nurtures, encourages, and supports them at a vulnerable moment in their lives. I know very well what that feels like - young actors face exactly the same problems; sometimes really gifted, exceptional artists fall by the wayside.

    Death, Time and Commerce: Innovation and Conservatism in Styles of Funerary Material Culture in 18Th-19Th Century London

    Death, Time and Commerce: innovation and conservatism in styles of funerary material culture in 18th-19th century London Sarah Ann Essex Hoile UCL Thesis submitted for the degree of PhD Declaration I, Sarah Ann Essex Hoile confirm that the work presented in this thesis is my own. Where information has been derived from other sources, I confirm that this has been indicated in the thesis. Signature: Date: 2 Abstract This thesis explores the development of coffin furniture, the inscribed plates and other metal objects used to decorate coffins, in eighteenth- and early nineteenth-century London. It analyses this material within funerary and non-funerary contexts, and contrasts and compares its styles, production, use and contemporary significance with those of monuments and mourning jewellery. Over 1200 coffin plates were recorded for this study, dated 1740 to 1853, consisting of assemblages from the vaults of St Marylebone Church and St Bride’s Church and the lead coffin plates from Islington Green burial ground, all sites in central London. The production, trade and consumption of coffin furniture are discussed in Chapter 3. Chapter 4 investigates coffin furniture as a central component of the furnished coffin and examines its role within the performance of the funeral. Multiple aspects of the inscriptions and designs of coffin plates are analysed in Chapter 5 to establish aspects of change and continuity with this material. In Chapter 6 contemporary trends in monuments are assessed, drawing on a sample recorded in churches and a burial ground, and the production and use of this above-ground funerary material culture are considered.

  • The Smithfield Gazette

    The Smithfield Gazette

    THE SMITHFIELD GAZETTE EDITION 164 April 2018 REMEMBERING THE POULTRY MARKET FIRE Early on 23 January 1958 a fire broke out in the basement of the old Poultry Market building at Smithfield Market. It was to be one of the worst fires London had seen since the Blitz. The old Poultry Market was similar in style to the two remaining Victorian buildings – it was also designed by Sir Horace Jones and opened in 1875. In a moving ceremony held in Grand Avenue exactly sixty years after the fire started, the two firefighters who died were remembered by the unveiling of one of the Fire Brigades Union’s new red plaques. Wreaths were laid by Matt Wrack, General Secretary of the Fire Brigades Union, Greg Lawrence, Chairman of the Smithfield Market Tenants’ Association and Mark Sherlock, Superintendent of Smithfield Market. Serving and retired firefighters attended as well as Market tenants and representatives of the City of London. Two fire engines were also there. The fire burned for three days in the two and a half acre basement, which was full of crates of poultry as well as being lined with wooden match boarding which had become soaked with fat over a period of years – this meant that the fire spread exceptionally quickly. Reports of the time state that by dawn the stalls and market contents had been destroyed, the roof had collapsed and what was left was a blackened shell enclosing a twisted heap of ironwork and broken masonry. Flames 100 feet high lit the night sky. Firefighters from Clerkenwell fire station were the first to arrive on the scene, including Station Officer Jack Fourt-Wells, aged 46, and Firefighter Richard Stocking, 31, the two who lost their lives.
