EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the iconic Bus Station OP35846, located in Newbury Park, Redbridge, Greater London. The view from Eastern Avenue showcases the architectural brilliance of this mid-20th century structure. Designed by renowned architect Oliver Hill in 1937, it wasn't until after the Second World War that construction began on this remarkable bus station. The image reveals a perfect blend of functionality and aesthetic appeal. The barrel vault design with its concrete arches stands as a testament to the innovative architectural style prevalent during that era. This photograph serves as a window into history, showcasing an important piece of public transport infrastructure from yesteryears. Newbury Park Bus Station holds significant historical value and was recognized for its excellence when it received a prestigious Festival of Britain Award in 1951. It is fascinating to see how this transportation hub has stood the test of time while still serving its purpose today. Anthony Sherwood Brooks' masterful capture allows us to appreciate not only the architectural beauty but also transports us back to an era where bustling buses filled these platforms daily. This print is more than just an image; it encapsulates nostalgia and reminds us of our ever-evolving urban landscape.
