Charles Goad Insurance Plan of London, sheet 3 [Queen Victoria Street, Upper Thames Street, Faraday Building and the College of Arms]
Goad's fire insurance plan of London, sheet 3, covers Queen Victoria Street and St Andrew by the Wardrobe (EC4), where pale overpastes mark extensive cleared riverside sites. These were the Thames-side warehouse plots south of the Faraday Buildings, and the City of London School took part of that ground in 1986, bringing education to where warehouses and wharves had stood. Faraday Building then held the GPO Telephone Department headquarters and the GPO International Telephone Exchange. When it was completed in 1933, it hid St Paul's from the River Thames, and it prompted the height controls that still guard the cathedral. The College of Arms, home of the heralds since 1555, still works beside Wren's St Benet's, which has been the City's Welsh church since 1879. The plan was made for fire-risk assessment and revised with pasted slips showing new uses, altered layouts, demolition and rebuilding. Its latest dated correction, of November 1970, marks a vacancy at 21 Godliman Street. The sheet was resurveyed and reissued in November 1941, with a 1941 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 Carter Lane, St Andrew's Hill, Wardrobe Terrace, Addle Hill, Knightrider Street, Sermon Lane, St Peter's Hill, Upper Thames Street and Bennet's Hill.
