St Paul's Cathedral, seen along a reshaped Ludgate Hill, is the centrepiece of these visions of a rebuilt City of London by J. D. M. Harvey and F. J. Forty, published in Reconstruction in the City of London by B. T. Batsford in 1944. Other plates show proposed changes to Watling Street and Cannon Street and a planned embankment, and bird's-eye views take in London Bridge, Lower Thames Street and the whole City. One plate addresses a ring route between Holborn Circus and Aldersgate Street. These are wartime visualisations of suggested arrangements, not records of the streets as they were.
