EDITORS COMMENTS
This aerial photograph, Birmingham EAW210013, showcases the city centre of Birmingham as it appeared in 1971. Taken by Aerofilms, this image offers a unique perspective of the urban landscape, revealing the intricate layout of the city's streets and buildings. The photograph captures the bustling energy of Birmingham, with the iconic Rotunda building standing tall in the centre, its distinctive shape a testament to the city's architectural innovation. Moor Street Station, located to the right of the Rotunda, is also visible in the image. The station, with its long, low-lying roof, contrasts starkly with the taller buildings surrounding it. The intricate network of roads and car parks can be seen weaving around the buildings, providing a glimpse into the transportation infrastructure of the time. The photograph also reveals the lush greenery scattered throughout the city, with small parks and open spaces dotting the urban landscape. The presence of these green spaces adds a touch of natural beauty to the otherwise concrete and steel cityscape. This photograph is a snapshot in time, capturing the Birmingham of 1971 and offering a fascinating glimpse into the city's past. The image is part of the Historic England Archive, a valuable collection of aerial photographs that document the changing face of England's urban landscapes over the past century. This photograph, in particular, is a testament to the rich history and evolution of Birmingham, a city that continues to thrive and grow.
