Description:
|
Exterior view: View on the site of The Barbican and London Wall before the former was built. Much of this area was built to provide housing, including the Golden Lane Estate, for those working to service the City of London, which had nearly a third of its buildings destroyed in World War II. [photographed on August 1, 1960] St Giles Cripplegate was built after the previous church was destroyed in a fire in 1545. The tower was added in 1682-1684. The church was badly bombed in 1940, but was restored and reopened around the time of this photograph.
