1970s Car Park Multi Storey Road Transport
EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the Minories Car Park in all its architectural glory. Located at 1 Shorter Street in the City of London, this multi-storey car park from the 1970s stands tall against the backdrop of a bustling cityscape. The image showcases exposed steel reinforcement bars that were strategically left visible to connect with future phases of construction on-site. These bars were intended to support two ten-storey blocks that would have extended from the car park's roof, serving as halls of residence for City University students. The foundations of this impressive structure were meticulously designed to accommodate these planned additions, showcasing the foresight and vision behind its creation. The photograph offers a unique perspective from the southeast, allowing viewers to appreciate both the intricate details and grand scale of this architectural marvel. While it may no longer serve its original purpose as a car park, this historic landmark continues to stand as a testament to urban development and innovation. Its significance lies not only in its functional design but also in its contribution to shaping London's skyline. Through this print by A© Historic England Archive, we are transported back in time, capturing a glimpse into an era where road transport was rapidly evolving alongside ambitious architectural projects like Minories Car Park.
