1960s Building Site Cathedral Construction People Work
EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a moment frozen in time at Coventry Cathedral during the 1960s. Two skilled men are seen diligently plastering a wall, their focused expressions revealing their dedication to their craft. The backdrop of the cathedral's construction site adds an air of anticipation and progress. What makes this image even more intriguing is the presence of a panel inscribed by Ralph Beyer, adding an artistic touch to the otherwise industrial scene. It serves as a reminder that amidst the chaos of construction, art has its place in shaping our built environment. Catalogued as part of the Breaking New Ground Project in partnership with the John Laing Charitable Trust in 2019-20, this photograph holds historical significance beyond its visual appeal. It documents not only the physical transformation taking place at Coventry Cathedral but also highlights collaboration between organizations dedicated to preserving and promoting our architectural heritage. As we gaze upon this snapshot from yesteryears, we are transported back to a time when hard work and craftsmanship were valued above all else. It reminds us that every building tells a story – one that is shaped by countless hands working together towards a common goal.
