View of Threadneedle Street
Description
View of the Eagle Star Insurance Company head office at 1 Threadneedle Street, City of London. The photo was taken from outside the north-east corner of the Royal Exchange and the building is covered in scaffolding, with a crane above. This is the original head office building of Eagle Star which occupied a corner plot adjacent to Royal Exchange Avenue. It was subsequently rebuilt by Eagle Star in brutalist style in 1968. It was again rebuilt in 1992. The seated statue of George Peabody (by W.W. Story and unveiled in 1869) sits outside the front of the building covered with a protective wooden awning, and a mini van branded ‘Sunley’ parked in front. The statue was Grade II listed in 1972; listing number 1194436. Part of a drinking fountain containing another statue - ‘Motherhood’ by Jules Dalou - can be seen to the left of the image. It was Grade II listed in 1972; listing number 1358907. The Peabody statue and fountain switched positions in the 1980s. The curved north-east corner on the right is part of 1 Royal Exchange Buildings.
