Aerial view of Mitre Square today?

Thanks for that. Great (yet not great news) post.

Ooh bugger. This is major. I wonder how this is going to affect my Ripper guiding as it starts slap bang in the middle of all this?

Not great news? Less traffic, more green and public space, redevelopment of post-war mostrosities. A return to the original street plan.

Do remember they have ALREADY pulled down Victorian buildings for this, Martian2.

Yes, and that is really sad. But as I see it a couple of small Victorian town houses canīt really save Aldgate. The area needs to be completely redeveloped. Would be nice if they would rebuild the old Gardinerīs Corner. Really sad that it was demolished. Post-war planning did much more harm to London than Luftwaffe ever did. London Bridge, Gardinerīs Corner, Aldgate (and muc of the East EndI, Elephnat & Castle, Euston Arch, London Bridge Station, the North Bank, etc were all lost after the war.
