EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the iconic Wood Green Shopping City, formerly known as The Mall Wood Green, in Haringey, Greater London. The image captures the Mayes Road entrance to the Market Hall, with the striking spiral ramps of the west car park towering above. Wood Green Shopping City is not your typical shopping centre; it boasts a unique design that sets it apart from others. The A105 (High Road) runs right through its center, creating an interesting dynamic for visitors and shoppers alike. Adding to its distinctiveness is Sky City, a housing complex built on top of the shop units within the complex. Constructed by Laings London Region during the 1970s to early 1980s, this site holds historical significance in terms of architecture and urban development. One notable project undertaken by Laings was Phase II contract which encompassed building the main shopping centre on the western side of A105. This print offers a glimpse into an era when commerce and retail were booming in Wood Green. It serves as a reminder of how this bustling hub has evolved over time while still retaining its charm and character. Captured by Historic England Archive, this image preserves a moment frozen in time - one that tells a story of construction prowess and commercial progress without explicitly mentioning any specific company or commercial use associated with it.
