Charles Goad Insurance Plan of London, sheet 54 [Lombard Street, King William Street, Gracechurch Street and St Clement Eastcheap]
Goad's fire insurance plan of London, sheet 54, covers Lombard Street and King William Street (EC3), the City's banking quarter, and it reads like a roll-call of vanished banks. Westminster Bank is marked as under construction in August 1969, and before the building was finished the bank had become National Westminster Bank, trading from 1 January 1970. Standard Bank, which had absorbed the Bank of West Africa in 1965, merged into Standard Chartered in November 1969. Guardian Assurance became Guardian Royal Exchange in 1968 and part of AXA in 1999, while the Royal Bank of Scotland still trades under its name. Of the two Grade I churches that survive, Hawksmoor's St Mary Woolnoth of 1716–27 has Bank station beneath it, and Wren's St Clement near Eastcheap of 1683–87 stands on Clement's Lane. Goad's plans were produced to rate fire risk and kept current with pasted overlays recording changed occupiers, altered layouts, demolition and new building. The August 1969 note marking Westminster Bank under construction is the latest dated correction. The sheet was resurveyed and reissued in September 1951, with a 1951 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 Gracechurch Street, Abchurch Lane and Nicholas Lane.
