This sign was removed from the famed headquarters of Barclays on the corner of Gracechurch Street and Lombard Street when Barclays recently left Lombard Street for the first time since John Freame and Thomas Gould started trading as goldsmith bankers there in 1690. Lombard Street has been famed for its lavish hanging signs since the arrival of bankers from Lombardy in the sixteenth Century.
