Workmen JLP01_08_064422
PATERNOSTER SQUARE, CITY OF LONDON. Four workmen employed on the construction of the Paternoster development.
Photographs of these four workers were published in the February 1963 issue of Laings monthly newsletter, Team Spirit. From left to right: G Otley, concreting ganger; J White, foreman joiner; P Enright, walking ganger; R Coxhead, carpenter/joiner.
Work on the Paternoster development was carried out in a joint venture by John Laing Construction Limited, Trollope and Colls Limited, and George Wimpey and Company Limited. The scheme involved the redevelopment of a seven acre site on the north side of St Pauls Cathedral. The site had been almost entirely devastated during an incendiary raid in December 1940. The development consisted of a series of office blocks, a shopping precinct, an extensive piazza and a three-level car park. The various blocks were named after former Bishops of London. The tallest block was 18-storeys in height and was called Sudbury House. The three 10-storey blocks were Courtenay, Walden and Grendall Houses, and the five-storey blocks were Laud, Sheldon and Bancroft Houses

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the dedicated workmen employed on the construction of the iconic Paternoster development in Paternoster Square, City of London. Published in Laings monthly newsletter, Team Spirit, in February 1963, these four workers showcase their expertise and commitment to their craft. From left to right, we have G Otley, a concreting ganger; J White, a foreman joiner; P Enright, a walking ganger; and R Coxhead, a skilled carpenter/joiner. The Paternoster development was an ambitious joint venture between John Laing Construction Limited, Trollope and Colls Limited, and George Wimpey and Company Limited. Spanning across seven acres on the north side of St Paul's Cathedral, this site had suffered severe damage during an incendiary raid in December 1940. The redevelopment aimed to transform it into a thriving hub consisting of office blocks named after former Bishops of London. Amongst these notable structures was Sudbury House standing tall at 18 storeys—the tallest block—alongside Courtenay House, Walden House, Grendall House (all ten-storey blocks), as well as Laud House , Sheldon House , and Bancroft Houses (five-storey blocks). Additionally, the project included a shopping precinct, a spacious piazza, and even a three-level car park. This remarkable photograph not only showcases the skillful craftsmanship involved but also serves as a testament to the resilience and determination that went into rebuilding this significant area after its devastating destruction during World War II.
