EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a significant moment in Coventry's history. The image showcases the relentless power of bulldozers as they clear away the old, dilapidated streets of Hillfields to make room for modern high-rise flats. It is a visual representation of progress and urban redevelopment. The photograph reveals some of the remaining buildings that are yet to be demolished, standing defiantly against the backdrop of towering new flats emerging through an old archway. This stark contrast between past and future symbolizes the transformation taking place in this once derelict land. Taken on 11th February 1970 by Dennis Morgan, this snapshot encapsulates the architectural trends prevalent during that era. Tower blocks were seen as a solution to housing shortages and slum conditions, providing social housing for communities in need. As we gaze upon this image from Memory Lane Prints, we are transported back to a time when Coventry was undergoing radical changes. The demolition work depicted here represents not just physical destruction but also hope for better living conditions for its residents. Let us appreciate this historical document that immortalizes an important chapter in Coventry's evolution – one where old structures give way to new beginnings, paving the way for progress and improved quality of life.
