  • 'We Care Not a Fig, Who Is Lord Mayor of London, Or Tory Or Whig':1 Popular Political Culture in the City of London, C.1725
    ‘We care not a Fig, who is Lord Mayor of London, or Tory or Whig’: 1 Popular Political Culture in the City of London, c.1725-46 Eleanor Bland The Georgian City of London was a site of lively political activity, as Londoners from all walks of life engaged in formal and informal ways with political events and structures. This article provides a fresh perspective by examining City politics from the grass-roots level, from the streets and alleys of the City, revealing powerful internal City dialogues. The focus is on the period between the City Elections Act of 1725, and the repeal of its most unpopular provision, the Aldermanic veto, in 1746. This corresponds to an era of intense agitation both in the City, where political events were frequently the topic of newspaper reports and pamphlets, and nationwide, with mounting opposition to Prime Minister Robert Walpole and his corrupt ‘Whig Oligarchy’. The City, as Nicholas Rogers and Henry Horwitz argue, played a vital role in the national political opposition to Walpole’s deeply unpopular Excise Bill of 1733, and his 1739 treaty with Spain; these provoked widespread opposition as affronts to City merchants’ trading interests, making this a particularly turbulent period. 2 However, this study uncovers a groundswell of citizen political activism through an analysis of the dialogues of elections to the Common Council. The Corporation of London was governed by the Lord Mayor, the Court of Aldermen and the much larger Court of Common Council, the legislative body for civic matters. Common Council

  • Discontinuance of City Walkway: Bassishaw Highwalk (Part)
    Committee: Date: Planning and Transportation 18 September 2012 Subject: Public Discontinuance of City Walkway: Bassishaw Highwalk (Part) Report of: For Decision the Director of the Built Environment Ward: Bassishaw Summary The city walkway that forms that part of Bassishaw Highwalk to the south of the city walkway bridge over London Wall needs to be discontinued in order to allow works to take place to City Place House and City Tower, in accordance with the planning permission for these works. Pedestrian access to city walkways may only be restricted or prohibited for a maximum of three months. The works to City Place House and City Tower will take substantially longer than this, with works scheduled to continue until July 2013, and therefore to allow the works to take place safely, without public rights of access through a building site, it is necessary to discontinue the city walkway. Once the façade remodelling and public realm improvement works are complete the City will declare a replacement city walkway. The City has a written undertaking from the leaseholder and developer that that company will facilitate the City’s declaration of the replacement city walkway once the works are complete. Recommendation I RECOMMEND THAT the city walkway forming the southern part of Bassishaw Highwalk be discontinued with immediate effect; and that, in order to effect this, your Committee resolves as follows:— WHEREAS the Mayor and Commonalty and Citizens of the City of London acting by the Planning and Transportation Committee pursuant to the delegation
