Charles Goad Insurance Plan of London, sheet 20 [Moorgate, Coleman Street, Basinghall Street and Gresham Street]
Goad's fire insurance plan of London, sheet 20, covers Moorgate and Basinghall Street (EC2), where the banks then occupied more than conventional offices. On the sheet, several floors of Westminster Bank's premises are labelled for computers, recording the footprint of early banking technology beside workshops, stores and service spaces. The bank itself had merged with National Provincial to trade as National Westminster Bank from 1 January 1970. Armourers' Hall has been on its Coleman Street site since 1346 and survived the Great Fire and the Blitz. Gresham College, which was here from 1842, later lectured at City University, the Barbican and Mercers' Hall before settling at Barnard's Inn in 1991. The sheet also names Barclays Bank, Lloyds Bank, Chase Manhattan Bank, Girdlers' Hall, Austral House, Princes House and the Mayor's and City of London Court. The plan was made to assess property and fire risk, and it was kept current with pasted slips as uses and buildings changed. Its latest dated correction, from November 1970, marks a building on Great Bell Alley as under construction. The sheet was resurveyed and reissued in November 1961, with a 1961 copyright date, and it belongs to a group whose key plans were still being corrected in October 1970 and March 1971. Other streets on the sheet include London Wall, Basinghall Avenue, Masons Avenue, Lothbury, Gresham Street and King Street.
