London EC2Y EC1A Barbican pre-WW2 bomb damage. Jewin Street GOAD 1929 old map
SKU
'Aldersgate Street - Barbican - Jewin Crescent - Jewin Street - Edmund Place - Australian Avenue - Redcross Street - Hamsell Street - City Well Street' (Barbican EC2Y EC1A)
This wonderful map shows in great detail the pre-World War Two street layout of what is now the Barbican Estate. This area was virtually completely destroyed by German bombs during the Second World War, and the street pattern as shown was completely reconfigured and reconstructed between 1965 and 1976. Many of these street names have passed into history. These very scarce maps were prepared by the civil engineering firm Charles Goad and Co for insurance and related purposes. The circulation of these plans amongst insurance companies, fire brigades and other interested parties was strictly controlled by Goad on a rental basis, and apparently never sold. They were revised and updated, sometimes for decades after publication. Many of these maps show Second World War bomb damage (Buildings damaged or destroyed by bombs are marked green), and later post-war redevelopment. They provide a historical insight into the changing landscape of the City during the middle decades of the twentieth century.
