Lobby JLP01_08_071112
PATERNOSTER SQUARE, CITY OF LONDON. The reception area of an office building at the Paternoster development, showing a desk between four large columns.
Work on the Paternoster development was carried out in a joint venture by John Laing Construction Limited, Trollope and Colls Limited, and George Wimpey and Company Limited. The scheme involved the redevelopment of a seven acre site on the north side of St Pauls Cathedral. The site had been almost entirely devastated during an incendiary raid in December 1940. The development consisted of a series of office blocks, a shopping precinct, an extensive piazza and a three-level car park. The various blocks were named after former Bishops of London. The tallest block was 18-storeys in height and was called Sudbury House. The three 10-storey blocks were Courtenay, Walden and Grendall Houses, and the five-storey blocks were Laud, Sheldon and Bancroft Houses

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the grandeur of the lobby at Paternoster Square, City of London. The reception area of this office building is showcased beautifully, with a desk positioned between four magnificent columns. The Paternoster development was a remarkable joint venture undertaken by John Laing Construction Limited, Trollope and Colls Limited, and George Wimpey and Company Limited. This ambitious project involved the redevelopment of a seven-acre site on the north side of St Paul's Cathedral that had been devastated during an incendiary raid in December 1940. The development itself comprised several office blocks, a shopping precinct, an expansive piazza, and even a three-level car park. Each block was named after former Bishops of London to pay homage to its historical significance. The tallest block in this ensemble was Sudbury House standing tall at 18 storeys. Dating back to the 1960s, this interior shot showcases the sleek design aesthetic prevalent during that era. It exudes an air of sophistication while also reflecting architectural resilience following wartime destruction. This print from Historic England Archive offers us a glimpse into the past and allows us to appreciate both the historical significance and architectural prowess exhibited in creating such an impressive space within Paternoster Square.
