[London : 1720]. A fine eighteenth-century map of Broad Street and Cornhill Wards in the City of London. Centred on Lothbury, Throgmorton Street and Threadneedle Street, the map extends from Lombard Street, Cornhill and the upper end of Gracechurch Street in the south, northwards to London Wall via Broad Street and Bishopsgate. The principal buildings shown include "Sr. Iohn Hublands" - the house of Sir John Houblon which became the Bank of England, the Royal Exchange, and the site of the as yet unbuilt Stock Exchange. Keyed tables identify fifty of the smaller rents, alleys, yards, courts, inns, etc. Originally produced by Richard Blome in the late seventeenth century, the map remained unpublished until the present version (with his name erased) appeared with the 1720 edition of John Stow's "Survey of London".
