EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the Shorter Street elevation of Minories Car Park in the City of London during its construction. The focus is on the unique curtain wall, showcasing sections before and after receiving a hammered surface treatment. Architect E G Chandler drew inspiration from the walls of London Zoo's Elephant House to create this intricate detail. The image transports us back to the 1960s, a time when multi-storey car parks were becoming increasingly popular. It offers a glimpse into the meticulous process behind constructing such an architectural marvel. The fluted concrete curtain wall stands as a testament to both creativity and functionality. Its textured surface adds visual interest while also serving practical purposes. As cars would come and go within this bustling car park, these walls provided privacy and security without compromising on aesthetics. Through this photograph, we can appreciate how architecture seamlessly blends artistry with utility. The attention to detail evident in every aspect of Minories Car Park's design showcases the dedication and vision of its creators. Historic England Archive has preserved this snapshot in time for future generations to admire and learn from. It serves as a reminder that even seemingly mundane structures like car parks can possess beauty worth celebrating.
