It plots the St Paul’s Heights, the height limits devised in the 1930s by the cathedral’s Surveyor to the Fabric, W. Godfrey Allen, to keep the dome visible from the streets and river; the strategic views of St Paul’s, protected view corridors crossing the City from distant viewpoints such as Parliament Hill, Primrose Hill and Richmond Park; and the protected views from the Monument. These policies still shape the London skyline today, now through the London View Management Framework, and here they are drawn street by street. Over a detailed Ordnance Survey base the map also marks highway-widening lines, the high-level walkways of the pedway network, a proposed riverside walk, conservation areas, the Temples and the Smithfield plan area, each keyed to the accompanying Written Statement, supplied with the map. It was deposited on 23 May 1986.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Antiquemapsandprints.com","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54371661152603,"sku":"P-7-028554","price":70.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0923\/9583\/1643\/files\/P-7-028554a_6995993e-6d9d-42f4-b914-0f875dd6b617.jpg?v=1792148862"},{"product_id":"goad-london-50-ec3-monument-london-bridge-pudding-lane-eastcheap-1947-1969-map-p-9-001114","title":"Goad London 50—EC3—Monument—London Bridge—Pudding Lane—Eastcheap 1947 (1969) map","description":"\u003cp align=\"left\"\u003eCharles Goad Insurance Plan of London, sheet 50 [The Monument, London Bridge, Lower Thames Street and Pudding Lane]\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp align=\"left\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp align=\"left\"\u003e\u003cem\u003eGoad's fire insurance plan of London, sheet 50, covers the Monument and London Bridge (EC3), and the bridge drawn here is John Rennie's of 1831. Rennie's bridge was sold in 1968 to Robert McCulloch, re-erected at Lake Havasu City, Arizona, and replaced in March 1973. The sheet still shows New Fresh Wharf, beside London Bridge Wharf below Lower Thames Street, with the warehouses and handling equipment of a working River Thames frontage. The wharf was demolished in 1973–74 and became St Magnus House in 1978, with offices succeeding cargo handling. Wren's St Magnus the Martyr, the Monument of 1671–77 and Adelaide House of 1925, which was the City's first steel-framed office block, all survive. Pudding Lane was the starting point of the Great Fire of London, which broke out in Thomas Farriner’s bakery on 2 September 1666. The sheet also names Monument Station and Lloyds Bank. Goad's plans were made to rate fire risk and kept current with pasted overlays recording new occupiers, altered layouts, demolition and rebuilding. On this sheet the latest dated correction is a vacancy note near the Monument, dated August 1969. The sheet was resurveyed and reissued in September 1947, with a 1949 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 Eastcheap, Gracechurch Street, King William Street, Fish Street Hill, Monument Street, Pudding Lane, Botolph Lane, Lovat Lane and St George's Lane.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Antiquemapsandprints.com","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54371710665051,"sku":"P-9-001114","price":230.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0923\/9583\/1643\/files\/P-9-001114a_7af6991d-b3ca-4979-bee7-4d3803b0b728.jpg?v=1792149006"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.antiquemapsandprints.com\/collections\/the-monument.oembed","provider":"Antiquemapsandprints.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
