EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the raw beauty and complexity of the Multi-Storey Car Park on Havana Close and Exchange Street in Romford, Essex, as it stood in August 1985. Taken by renowned photographer Paul Barkshire, the image showcases the intricate concrete structure that defied traditional architectural norms, rising high above the urban landscape. The Multi-Storey Car Park, a bold and innovative design, was built in the 1960s as a solution to the increasing demand for parking spaces in the growing town. Its imposing presence became a distinctive feature of Romford's skyline, a testament to the forward-thinking approach of the time. Barkshire's photograph masterfully highlights the textures and patterns of the concrete surfaces, revealing the intricacies of the car park's design. The interplay of light and shadow creates depth and dimension, while the geometric shapes and lines add a sense of order and symmetry. As you gaze at the image, you can almost hear the hum of the bustling town below, and feel the cool, concrete underfoot as you make your way to your parked car. The Multi-Storey Car Park may have been a functional structure, but it was also a symbol of progress and modernity, a testament to the architectural vision of its creators. This photograph is not only a snapshot of Romford's history but also a visual exploration of the beauty and complexity of concrete architecture. It invites us to look beyond the mundane and see the artistry and ingenuity in the structures that surround us every day.
