EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the bustling cityscape of London in the 1950s. Titled "Broadgate under construction circa 1954" it captures a pivotal moment in the architectural development of this iconic area. The image, skillfully captured by Arthur Cooper, showcases a vibrant scene filled with activity and progress. In the foreground, we see an impressive bus station taking shape, its skeletal structure reaching towards the sky. Construction workers can be seen diligently working on various levels, their figures almost blending into the backdrop of cranes and scaffolding that dominate the skyline. The sheer scale of this project is awe-inspiring. Amidst all this hustle and bustle, one cannot help but notice other elements coming together as well. A stylish hotel begins to emerge from behind layers of bricks and mortar while nearby shops eagerly await their grand opening. These buildings represent not only functional spaces but also symbols of growth and modernity during a transformative era for London's architecture. Arthur Cooper's photograph beautifully encapsulates both the physical transformation occurring at Broadgate during this time period as well as capturing a snapshot of life in mid-century Britain. It serves as a reminder that progress often requires perseverance and hard work – qualities embodied by those who dedicated themselves to constructing these remarkable structures. As we gaze upon this historical gem from Memory Lane Prints, we are transported back to an era where dreams were being built alongside towering edifices – forever etching their mark on London's ever-evolving skyline
