EDITORS COMMENTS
Captured in this print is a significant moment in the history of Birmingham's Bull Ring Centre. On the day of its grand opening ceremony, senior staff involved in the construction were presented to none other than HRH Prince Philip himself. The anticipation and excitement are palpable as these esteemed individuals await their introduction to royalty. From right to left, we see Reverend Canon Bryan S. W. Green, Rector of Birmingham, representing the spiritual significance of this monumental development. Accompanying him are key figures instrumental in bringing this architectural marvel to life: T. J. Hirst, the talented architect from Laing Development; R. C. Tucker, an architect from Construction Company; A. N. Jerrard, Contracts Manager based in Birmingham; G. M. Evans, Project Manager for Bull Ring construction; T. H Jones who transitioned from Construction Manager to become Project Manager later on; M. Brady and J. A. S Hepburn both serving as Project Managers at Laing Development. Completing this distinguished lineup are G. L Ferguson as Bull Ring Letting Manager and P. W. H Bradbrooke as concrete ganger along with M. Chaffe serving as chargehand electrician - all integral cogs that ensured every aspect of this ambitious project was meticulously executed. This photograph not only captures a historic event but also serves as a testament to the dedication and expertise poured into creating one of West Midlands' most iconic shopping centers during the 1960s.
