'The Guild-Hall of the City of London 1884'
This detailed official plan records the Guildhall complex and neighbouring streets at the height of its late-Victorian redevelopment. Dated 19 May 1884 by the City Architect’s Office, it identifies the Great Hall, library, courts, committee rooms, Guildhall Yard and administrative offices, while the octagonal New Council Chamber—then ‘in course of completion’—is picked out in pink. Surrounding properties and streets, including Basinghall Street and Aldermanbury, give the sheet broader value as a record of the City’s historic civic centre. The plan was issued as Plate V in John Edward Price’s lavish A Descriptive Account of the Guildhall of the City of London: Its History and Associations, published under Corporation authority in 1886, and was photolithographed by W. Griggs of London.
