This 1929 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.
