Charles Goad Insurance Plan of London, sheet 6 [Cannon Street Station, Upper Thames Street, Dowgate Hill and College Hill]
Goad's fire insurance plan of London, sheet 6, covers Cannon Street Station and College Hill (EC4) and shows livery halls and a working wharf among the offices. The City public-cleansing depot and dock at Walbrook Wharf still barges refuse to the Belvedere incinerator, a river trade that survives. St Michael Paternoster Royal Church is Wren's church of 1694 and Whittington's burial place, and it housed the Mission to Seafarers from 1968 until 2022. Skinners', Dyers' and Innholders' Halls remain the homes of their companies. Cannon Street Station and railway bridge keep their twin towers, which were listed in 1972, under Cannon Place, the office block that was completed in 2011 to replace Poulson's. The Lloyds Bank computer centre on the sheet marks the changing uses of large City sites, and a fifteen-level riverside car park is shown under construction in November 1970, which is the latest dated correction. The plan was compiled to assess fire risk, and it was maintained with pasted slips as uses and buildings changed. It was resurveyed and reissued in November 1957, with a 1957 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 Cloak Lane, Queen Street, College Street, Skinners' Lane, Dowgate Hill, Upper Thames Street, Bell Wharf Lane, Bush Lane, Allhallows Lane and the Southwark Bridge approach.
