EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a moment in time at the iconic CIS Building in Manchester. Two dedicated workers from Laing can be seen meticulously brushing mosaic tiling around the bold CIS lettering on the service tower. The image showcases their remarkable teamwork and attention to detail, as they contribute to the development of this towering office block. Taken in the 1960s, this photograph is a testament to the skilled workmen who played an integral role in constructing such architectural marvels. Their efforts are evident not only through their posed presence but also through their commitment to ensuring every tile is perfectly placed. Catalogued as part of the Breaking New Ground Project, which was conducted in partnership with the John Laing Charitable Trust during 2019-20, this image holds historical significance. It serves as a reminder of how collaboration between organizations can lead to extraordinary achievements. The mosaic lettering and tiles depicted here add character and charm to this landmark building, showcasing its unique design elements. While we admire these workers' craftsmanship, it's important not to overlook that this photo is from Historic England Archive and should not be used for commercial purposes.
