1980s Construction Hotel People Work


EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a significant moment in the construction history of London's Metropole Hotel. Taken in the 1980s, it showcases dedicated workers diligently removing old pile foundations at the bottom of the basement excavations for an extension to this iconic hotel located on Edgware Road in City of Westminster, Greater London. The image is part of the Breaking New Ground Project, a collaboration between Historic England and the John Laing Charitable Trust during 2019-20. It serves as a testament to both organizations' commitment to preserving and documenting Britain's architectural heritage. In this snapshot frozen in time, we witness laborers immersed in their task amidst piles of rubble and heavy machinery. Their hard hats and work attire reflect their dedication to safety while working tirelessly to lay a solid foundation for future development. The significance of this photograph lies not only in its historical context but also in its representation of human endeavor and progress. It symbolizes how each generation contributes towards shaping our built environment, ensuring that structures like the Metropole Hotel stand tall for years to come. Through this image, we are reminded that behind every grand structure stands countless hours of strenuous labor by unsung heroes who make dreams become reality.
