Published in the renowned book "These Tremendous Years" in 1938, this image showcases the grandeur and transformation that took place during the reconstruction of Piccadilly Tube Station. In this snapshot, five mature men stand proudly beside the majestic statue, their eyes locked with the camera as they pose for posterity. The towering figure of Eros, an angelic representation of love and desire, stands tall amidst its surroundings. Its presence symbolizes not only London's rich history but also its vibrant urban landscape. The historic significance of this moment is palpable as it marks a turning point for one of London's most beloved landmarks. With meticulous detail captured by photographer Ken Welsh, viewers are transported back to a time when progress met tradition.
