EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken in August 1999, showcases the historic St Paul's Church in Birmingham's St Paul's Square. Built between 1776 and 1779, the church was designed by Roger Eykyn and served as the focal point of a grand square of townhouses for merchants, industrialists, and professional men. The Georgian architectural masterpiece boasts a striking neoclassical facade, with its elegant columns and intricate detailing. In the late 1820s, the church underwent an expansion, with the addition of a bellfry and spire. These magnificent structures, now iconic landmarks of Birmingham's skyline, were designed to enhance the church's grandeur and presence. The aerial perspective of this photograph offers a unique vantage point, revealing the church's symmetrical design and the meticulously planned square surrounding it. The lush greenery in the foreground adds a touch of serenity to the scene, contrasting the urban backdrop of the city. Historic England Archive has captured this moment in time, preserving the beauty and historical significance of St Paul's Church for future generations. This image serves as a testament to Birmingham's rich architectural heritage and the enduring charm of its Georgian past.
