Building the Council House, Nottingham in 1929
EDITORS COMMENTS
is an intriguing vintage photograph that offers a glimpse into the past, captured by The Keasbury-Gordon Photograph Archive Collection from Mary Evans Prints Online. The image showcases the construction process of the Nottingham Council House, which was a significant architectural project during the late Victorian and Edwardian eras. The Council House, located in the heart of Nottingham, England, is a grand, square building that exudes an air of elegance and authority. In this photograph, we see the building in its nascent stage, with scaffolding and construction materials spread out around it. Workers in heavy coats and hats can be seen laboring away, adding bricks and mortar to the structure. The use of a lantern slide adds to the nostalgic feel of the image, transporting us back in time. The Council House, which was completed in 1929, was designed by Percy Thomas and T.C. Sorby in the neoclassical style. It was built to serve as the headquarters for Nottingham City Council and was intended to reflect the civic pride and prosperity of the city. The building's grandeur is evident even in this early photograph, with its ornate columns, intricate detailing, and imposing size. This photograph is a testament to the ingenuity and hard work of the construction workers who built the Council House, as well as the vision of the architects and council members who conceived of the project. It is a valuable historical record of a bygone era and a reminder of the rich architectural heritage of Nottingham. The photograph's vintage aesthetic, captured through the use of a lantern slide, adds to its charm and makes it a must-have for anyone with an interest in local history, architecture, or vintage photography.
