Vista of the preliminary proposals for reconstruction in the City of London, July 1944 - east
A section from the birds-eye view of the proposed reconstruction proposals for the heavily bombed City of London taken from a leaflet issued for the report of the re-construction committee that was presented to the Court of Common Council on 28 July 1944. This was followed in October 1944 by a public exhibition.
It gives a good indication of the outline ideas - oddly the vast rebuilding of the Barbican area was not particularly considered here - the later 'Holden' report into rebuilding was more radical in some areas.
