141. The Tower: the 1 959 scheme A view of the model from the south-west. Running
diagonally across the model from lower left to top centre is Lower Thames Street, realigned to join up with Tower Hill. As planners we wished the whole of this street to
be in tunnel to allow uninterrupted pedestrian access on the environs of the Tower. Financial difficulties prevented
it. In the foreground is the proposed office complex, whose three levels of car parking may be seen.
