EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to the bustling streets of City of London in the 1960s. The image showcases the Minories Car Park, a multi-storey structure that served as a hub for road transport during its heyday. Located at 1 Shorter Street, this architectural marvel was not just an ordinary car park; it also housed the stairs leading down to the basement of the City Engineers Highways Depot. This unique feature was built as part of a contract specifically for Minories Car Park. The attention to detail captured in this photograph is truly remarkable. Every line and curve tells a story of meticulous design and engineering prowess. It's evident that great care was taken to ensure functionality while maintaining aesthetic appeal. Catalogued under the Breaking New Ground Project, this image holds historical significance and has been preserved by Historic England Archive in partnership with the John Laing Charitable Trust. It serves as a testament to our evolving urban landscape and reminds us of how far we have come in terms of transportation infrastructure. As we gaze upon this snapshot from yesteryears, let us appreciate not only its visual beauty but also recognize it as an important piece of our collective heritage.
