EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a moment frozen in time during the bustling construction era of the 1980s. In the heart of Finsbury Avenue, Broadgate, City of London, a dedicated worker fearlessly ascends a ladder to fix the end of a girder into the sturdy steel frame at 3 Finsbury Avenue. The image showcases both the physicality and precision required in this demanding line of work. Catalogued as part of the Breaking New Ground Project in partnership with the esteemed John Laing Charitable Trust in 2019-20, this photograph is not just an ordinary snapshot but rather a testament to human ingenuity and progress. It serves as a reminder that every towering structure we admire today was once carefully pieced together by skilled hands like those depicted here. The composition exudes authenticity and rawness, capturing an era where hard hats were worn with pride and sweat glistened on determined faces. This powerful image from A© Historic England Archive encapsulates not only the spirit of construction but also pays homage to those who dedicated their lives to shaping our urban landscapes. As we gaze upon this remarkable scene, let us appreciate how far we have come while acknowledging those unsung heroes whose efforts laid down foundations for future generations.
