The reference to 1766 in the title is a bit misleading. What it means is that the base map shows
the City and surrounding areas as they were in 1766 with public works such as street improvements 1766-1852
superimposed.
The main improvements shown are (from west to east):
- Victoria St (Westminster)
- Cranbourn St
- New Oxford St, Endell St
- Area around St Clement Danes
- Victoria St [ie Farringdon Rd], Holborn Bridge, Farringdon St
- Blackfriars Bridge

- Post Offfice, Gresham St
- Chiswell St, Sun St
- London Wall, Moorgate St
- Princes St, area around Royal Exchange, King William St
- Cannon St, Thames St
- Approaches to London Bridge (north and south)
- Coal Exchange
- Commercial St, Leman St, Swan St, Goodman's Yard
