EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the enchanting beauty of a crane at night during the construction of Vauxhall Cross in Greater London. The image showcases a mesmerizing view from Vauxhall Bridge, looking eastward, as one of the cranes on site stands tall and proud, adorned with dazzling Christmas decorations that illuminate the darkened sky. Vauxhall Cross, also known as the SIS or MI6 Building, holds immense historical significance. Designed by renowned architect Terry Farrell and built by Laing Management Contracting for Regalian Properties, this iconic structure became the headquarters for the British Secret Intelligence Service or MI6 after being acquired by the government. The photograph takes us back to its early days when ground works commenced in 1990 and completion was achieved in 1992. The composition beautifully juxtaposes elements of urban landscape with construction aesthetics. The long exposure technique employed adds an ethereal touch to this nighttime scene, enhancing its allure further. As we gaze upon this remarkable print from Historic England Archive, we are transported back to a time when progress and innovation were shaping London's skyline. Let this image serve as a reminder of how architecture can transform not only physical spaces but also our perception of them. It is a testament to human ingenuity and determination that has left an indelible mark on Lambeth's history.
