Bank of England presents historic strip of pavement to city.
Scanes architecture preserved.
An unusual gift, a historic strip of pavement at the Tivoli Corner of the Bank, hitherto enclosed by iron railings is to be presented to the City Corporation by the Bank of England.
The Lord Mayor will receive the gift on September 15.
The corner, at the junction of Princess Street and Lothbury, is one of the most interesting features of the Bank from an architectural point of view. At the time it was decide to rebuild the Bank the trustees of Sir John Scanes Museum protested against the design, being altered and the city corporation simultaneously urged the necessity of widening Princes Street. The difficulty was overcome by the gift, which provides a public short cut between Princess Street and Lothbury through the interior of the new Tivoli. Scanes original design will be preserved.
