Description
Illustration from "Cripplegate Ward" by J.J. Baddeley (1921), showing Redcross Street, City of London, looking north from near the junction with Paper Street (right, out of view). At the top of the street on the right, at the junction with Beech Street, is the London Joint City and Midland Bank. On the diagonally opposite corner, at the junction of Golden Lane and Barbican, is a six-storey building with a domed turret, occupied on the lower floors by South Western Bank, later amalgamated into Barclays. Both bank buildings, exceptionally, survived the Blitz. The buildings in the foreground left were occupied by auctioneers, general merchants, manufacturers’ agents, fur and skin merchants and straw hat manufacturers. Redcross Street no longer exists. Horse-drawn carriages are in view.
