This print captures a thrilling moment of abseiling for charity in the heart of Lewisham, Greater London. Against the backdrop of the iconic Citibank offices on Molesworth Street, brave individuals from Laing and its subsidiary company Holloway White Allom descended down the towering building to raise funds for the Winged Fellowship Trust. Taken in the 1990s, this image showcases not only an act of extreme sports but also highlights the spirit of community and philanthropy. The participants fearlessly embraced this exhilarating challenge as they dangled high above the urban landscape, showcasing their determination to make a difference.
