EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the early stages of construction inside The Millennium Dome in Greenwich, Greater London. The image showcases the central performance arena being built, with sections of sheet piling being driven into the ground. This monumental project was a joint venture between Laing and McAlpine, two renowned construction companies. The dome's interior is set to house a magnificent theatre with an impressive capacity of 11,000 seats. What makes this theatre truly unique is its "variable geometry" design, allowing the seats to be moved upwards and inwards towards the central stage. This innovative feature promises an immersive experience for every spectator. As we gaze at this snapshot from the 1990s, we can't help but marvel at the sheer scale and ambition behind this exhibition pavilion. It serves as a testament to human ingenuity and determination to create something extraordinary. The print by A© Historic England Archive not only documents an important milestone in architectural history but also symbolizes progress and possibility. It reminds us that even grand visions start with humble beginnings - here represented by those sheets of piling steadily finding their place in the ground. Let this image transport you back in time as you contemplate how far we have come since then – from these early stages of construction to witnessing The Millennium Dome become one of London's most iconic landmarks.
