IMAGES TAKEN NEAR TO
Moorfields Highwalk, LONDON, EC2Y 9DP

Another part of the Moorfields Highwalk taken in the heavy snow of February 1991. With the fir trees it looks like Christmas!

This new building is part of the new development between Moor Lane and Moorgate.

An office block dating probably from the 1960s with bands of abstract shapes carved below the windows. It appears to be empty and may, like much else built in that most tainted of decades, be due for demolition. To its right is a bit of a telephone exchange (Image]) and, beyond, a bit of City Tower (Image]). The shot is taken from one of the walkways on the Barbican Estate.

For the new Liverpool Street Elizabeth Line (aka Crossrail) station, about four years on from Image These upper stages will probably offer shops or offices or a lifestyle. Or something. The defunct walkway has been adorned with lots of pot plants.

This building Image] has gone in the cause of a western entrance to the new Liverpool Street Crossrail station, and the usual shops and offices will spring up (101 Moorgate). Demolition has opened up a view of many of the City's shiny new toys.

Seems to occupy the site of Gun Alley (q.v.), Sugar loaf Alley and Court in the earlier maps. in Henry A Harben, 'New Street Hill - Newchurch', in A Dictionary of London (London, 1918)]

A rare scene to see this amount of snow in Central London. This snowfall was in February 1991.

Today and next Saturday 9th August, a special steam train (the Met 1 locomotive, an original London Underground engine restored recently to its former glory) ran on the Hammersmith & City line to celebrate the 150th anniversary of the line. This was the last train of the day, arriving at Moorgate at 15:55 and departing for Northfields on the Piccadilly line at 16:25. Looking north-northwest from the island platform between the sidings and the westbound Hammersmith & City, Circle and Metropolitan line platform.
