Charles Goad Insurance Plan of London, sheet 61 [Lime Street, Fenchurch Street, Leadenhall Street and Lloyd's]
Goad's fire insurance plan of London, sheet 61, covers Lime Street, Fenchurch Street and Cullum Street (EC3) and records the insurance quarter as it stood before the towers. The sheet shows the Corporation of Lloyd's in relatively new premises, opened in 1958, on the east side of Lime Street. They gave way to Foster's Willis Building of 2008, which today preserves the insurance connection on a much larger scale. Prudential House, shown at the Leadenhall Street corner, made way for the Scalpel tower, completed in 2018. The block between Fenchurch Avenue and Billiter Street is now One Fen Court, whose free roof garden opened in 2019. The sheet also names Baltic House, Atlantic House and the offices of Commercial Union, Eagle Star and Royal Insurance, which have since merged into Aviva, Zurich and Royal & Sun Alliance respectively. The plans were made to assess property and fire risk, and they were kept current with pasted overlays recording new uses, altered layouts, demolition and rebuilding. The latest dated correction, from August 1969, is a vacancy note at 36–37 Leadenhall Street. The sheet was resurveyed and reissued in August 1953, with a 1953 copyright date, and key plans acquired with the group were corrected as late as October 1970 and March 1971.
