Broad Street (ward)
Broad Street is one of the 25 ancient wards of the City of London.
==History==
In medieval times it was divided into ten precincts〔(''Book 2, Ch. 12: Broad Street Ward'', A New History of London: Including Westminster and Southwark (1773), pp. 566-76 ) accessed: 23 September 2007〕 and contained six churches,〔The Dutch Church at Austin Friars was originally a monastic foundation ''Churches of City of London'', Reynolds,H (Bodley Head 1922)〕 of which only two, St. Margaret Lothbury and All Hallows-on-the-Wall now survive:〔(1750 map of Broad Street & Cornhill Ward (London Ancestor) ) accessed: 23 September 2007〕 St. Bartholomew-by-the-Exchange was demolished in 1840, St. Benet Fink in 1844, St. Martin Outwich in 1874 and St. Peter-le-Poer in 1907.〔( Genealogical web-site )〕
The ward's northern boundary along London Wall and Blomfield Street borders Coleman Street ward, before curving to the north-east along Liverpool Street, the division with Bishopsgate. From here, Old Broad Street runs south-west along the border with Cornhill where it joins Throgmorton Street, its southern boundary - to the south of which is the Bank of England in Walbrook ward. The western boundary follows a series of small courts and alleys adjacent to Moorgate and then runs up Copthall Avenue. A busy commercial area〔(Police overview )〕 it also contains two livery halls of the Worshipful Company of Carpenters〔(Livery Carpenter’s Web-site )〕 and Worshipful Company of Drapers.〔(Draper’s Information )〕 Like many of the City wards it has a social club for people who work in the area,〔(Ward Club )〕 which celebrated its 30th anniversary in March 2006.〔(Ward Newsletter )〕
At the top of Old Broad Street, adjacent to Liverpool Street station, was Broad Street station which closed in 1986 — the only major terminus station in London to have permanently closed.
