EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of Grafton Street Car Park in Worthing, Sussex. The image, taken by Peter Williams, showcases the architectural marvel that this post-war concrete structure represents. Standing tall and proud, it is a testament to the ingenuity and creativity of its time. The general view presented in this photograph allows us to appreciate the grandeur of Grafton Street Car Park. Its clean lines and geometric shapes create a visually striking composition against the backdrop of a clear blue sky. The play between light and shadow adds depth to this already impressive structure. As we gaze upon this image, we are transported back in time to an era when modernism was at its peak. This car park stands as a symbol of progress and innovation during those years following World War II. It serves as a reminder that even amidst destruction, humanity has always found ways to rebuild and reimagine their surroundings. Peter Williams' skillful photography brings out every intricate detail of Grafton Street Car Park's design. From afar, it may seem like just another parking facility; however, through his lens, we can truly appreciate its architectural significance. This print from Historic England not only captures an iconic piece of architecture but also invites us to reflect on our ever-evolving urban landscape throughout history.
