The Bank of England, Threadneedle Street, City of London: 'Britannia' dominating the pedimented facade of the front courtyard in the north-west corner of the original bank

NOTES: This photograph, taken prior to the rebuilding of the bank, comes from the Francis William Troup archive held at the RIBA Library. Troup was a consultant architect to the Bank of England and prepared designs for the rebuilding of the Threadneedle site in 1920. The commission was given to Sir Herbert Baker in 1921 with whom Troup worked initially as supervising architect.
