EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "Corporation Street DP164674" captures the essence of Coventry's post-war architecture in the West Midlands. Taken from a south-western perspective, it offers a general view of Corporation Street, showcasing two prominent buildings that have become iconic symbols of the city. The eye is immediately drawn to the grandeur and significance of the Coventry Evening Telegraph building. Standing tall and proud, its architectural design reflects both strength and elegance. This structure served as a hub for news dissemination during an era when newspapers were at their peak influence. Its presence on Corporation Street adds to the historical fabric of Coventry. Adjacent to this notable edifice stands New Oxford House, another remarkable piece of post-war architecture. The building exudes modernity with its clean lines and sleek facade, representing progress and innovation in urban development during that time period. Steven Baker's keen eye has captured these structures against a backdrop that showcases both their individual beauty and their harmonious integration into the surrounding environment. The composition allows viewers to appreciate not only each building's unique features but also how they contribute to creating an overall sense of place within Coventry. As we gaze upon this print by Historic England, we are transported back in time to witness firsthand how architecture can shape a city's identity while preserving its history for future generations to admire and cherish.
