Paintings, Prints & Drawings — 1829
Coopers' Hall, Basinghall Street
Like other livery company halls in the city of London, the Worshipful Company of Coopers have occupied a number of buildings. Their first purpose-built hall was destroyed in the Great Fire of London. This wash drawing, made by Thomas Hosmer Shepherd for his book ‘London in the Nineteenth Century’ (1829-31), depicts the second hall (1670) in Basinghall Street. It was replaced by a new hall in 1865, which was destroyed by fire in the London Blitz of 1940. The Company now occupies a townhouse in Devonshire Square, Bishopsgate.
