Charles Goad Insurance Plan of London, sheet 60 [Leadenhall Market, Leadenhall Street, Fenchurch Street and Lloyd's]
Goad's fire insurance plan of London, sheet 60, covers Leadenhall Market, Lime Street and the Corporation of Lloyd's (EC3), where the market stayed and Lloyd's rebuilt. The sheet shows Lloyd's in Edwin Cooper's building of 1928 at the Leadenhall Street corner. That building was demolished to make way for Richard Rogers' inside-out building of 1978–86, and only Cooper's entrance survives. Horace Jones's market of 1881 is shown as meat and fish premises, in contrast to the shops, bars and restaurants now in its Victorian arcades. The market has undergone a change of activity within surviving buildings, rather than the wholesale rebuilding seen elsewhere in the City. The same arcades stood in for the streets around the Leaky Cauldron in the first Harry Potter film. Royal Mail House, Lloyds Bank and a Barclays Bank construction site are also named on the sheet. Insurers judged property and fire risk from these plans, which were kept current with pasted slips recording new uses, altered layouts, demolition and rebuilding. The latest dated correction on this sheet is August 1969. The sheet was resurveyed and reissued in August 1945, 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 Gracechurch Street, Fenchurch Street and Whittington Avenue.
