EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the 1960s, capturing a pivotal moment in the construction of Coventry Cathedral. The image showcases the grandeur of this iconic cathedral, as we gaze from the nave towards the chancel. Amidst this architectural masterpiece, two dedicated craftsmen can be seen diligently working on the flooring. The photograph is part of an esteemed collection called Breaking New Ground Project, in collaboration with the John Laing Charitable Trust. It serves as a testament to their commitment to preserving and celebrating England's rich history and heritage. In this snapshot frozen in time, we are transported to a bustling building site where dreams were being transformed into reality. The men engrossed in their work symbolize not only their craftsmanship but also represent countless individuals who contributed to making this magnificent structure come alive. Coventry Cathedral stands tall today as a symbol of resilience and hope, rising from its ashes after being destroyed during World War II. This image captures a significant chapter in its rebirth - a reminder that even amidst destruction, beauty can emerge. As we admire this remarkable piece of history through A© Historic England Archive's lens, let us appreciate not just the architectural marvel before our eyes but also acknowledge all those unsung heroes whose dedication brought it into existence.
