EDITORS COMMENTS
This print by Steven Baker transports us back in time to the heart of Birmingham International Airport, specifically the Elmdon Terminal Building. The image showcases an interior view of the air terminal's control tower as seen from the south-west angle. Evidently disused, this once bustling hub for air traffic control now stands as a poignant reminder of a bygone era. The composition exudes an intriguing sense of nostalgia and mystery. The dilapidated state of the control tower hints at its rich history and former significance within the airport's operations. As we gaze upon this forgotten space, one can almost hear echoes of conversations between pilots and controllers reverberating through its walls. Baker's keen eye captures every detail with precision, allowing us to appreciate both the grandeur and decay present in this unique setting. The play of light filtering through broken windows creates a mesmerizing interplay between shadows and remnants of past glory. As we reflect on this photograph, it serves as a testament to human progress and evolution in aviation technology. It reminds us that even structures once deemed essential can become obsolete over time. Yet, amidst their abandonment lies an opportunity for reflection on our collective journey towards more advanced systems. Steven Baker's work not only preserves historical moments but also invites viewers to contemplate how places like these contribute to shaping our modern world. This photograph is undoubtedly a valuable addition to Historic England's collection, capturing both architectural beauty and evocative storytelling within its frame
