GB 0074 CLC/289 [1700-1750] Collection 5 production units. Unknown copyist.

After the Great Fire of London in 1666 rebuilding was forbidden until a Committee had considered redevelopment plans and all claims to plots of land had been settled. By November the Committee gave the City powers to control drainage, water supply, and street cleaning; and issued orders regulating the height of private houses.

These volumes were donated to Guildhall Library (date unknown). They were recatalogued in 1981 by a member of Guildhall Library staff. The Guildhall Library Manuscripts Section merged with the London Metropolitan Archives in 2009.

Copies, possibly made in the first half of the 18th century and presented to the Court of Aldermen, of surveys and plans originally made 1667-1687 by John Oliver and Peter Mills, City Surveyors, after the 1666 Great Fire.

5 volumes, indexed in volume 5.

Available for general access.
