Charles Goad Insurance Plan of London, sheet 49 [Finsbury Circus, Liverpool Street, London Wall and Broad Street Station]
Goad's fire insurance plan of London, sheet 49, covers Finsbury Circus and Broad Street Station (EC2), a vanished terminus represented here by its southern station buildings on Liverpool Street. The North London Railway opened the station in 1865, and goods traffic ended in January 1969, while the sheet was in use. The station closed on 30 June 1986, but its buildings were already coming down from late 1985 to make way for Broadgate, as offices spread over former railway land. The Metropolitan Railway platforms shown on the sheet still serve the Circle line at Liverpool Street. All Hallows on the Wall Church, George Dance the Younger's work of 1767, survives and is listed Grade I. London Wall Buildings of 1901, Finsbury House and Park House are also listed and still stand. Goad's plans were drawn to price fire risk and kept current with pasted overlays recording changed uses, altered layouts, demolition and new building, though no correction here is dated. The sheet was resurveyed and reissued in September 1947, 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 Eldon Street, Liverpool Street, Blomfield Street, Old Broad Street, New Broad Street and London Wall.
