1563 Addition From Neighbourhood Pauls Plan Prior Properties Spire Surrounding Aggas
EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time with this 19th century illustration of the neighborhood surrounding St. Paul's Cathedral, as it appeared prior to the addition of the iconic spire in the mid-14th century. This intricately detailed print, derived from the Aggas Plan of 1563, offers a unique glimpse into the historical streets and properties that once surrounded London's most revered religious site. The illustration reveals a bustling community, with narrow, winding streets lined by half-timbered houses, shops, and taverns. The Thames River, a vital source of life and commerce, is depicted in the foreground, with various boats and ships anchored along its banks. The imposing silhouette of St. Paul's Cathedral, still in its early stages of construction, can be seen in the background, dwarfed by the surrounding structures. The Aggas Plan, created in 1563, is one of the earliest surviving maps of London. This illustration, produced in the 19th century, offers a more artistic and detailed interpretation of the historical data, providing a captivating representation of London's rich history and the development of St. Paul's Cathedral. This evocative print invites viewers to explore the history of one of London's most iconic landmarks and the vibrant community that once thrived in its shadow. A must-have for history enthusiasts, architects, and anyone with an interest in London's fascinating past.
