EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the iconic Gateshead car park, known as Trinity Square, in all its architectural glory. Taken by photographer Alun Bull in May 2010, this digital photograph was part of a project aimed at exploring the profound impact of cars on buildings and places. Trinity Square car park stood tall for over four decades before its eventual demolition just two months after this image was captured. Designed by renowned architect Rodney Gordon, this colossal seven-level structure opened its doors to the public in 1967. It formed an integral part of a larger complex that included a bustling shopping center, indoor market, pedestrian square, children's playground, and even a restaurant perched atop the car park. Locally referred to as the Get Carter Car Park due to its prominent appearance in the influential film "Get Carter" directed by Mike Hodges in 1971 – who happened to be friends with Rodney Gordon – Trinity Square became more than just a parking facility; it became an emblematic symbol of urban life. Through Alun Bull's lens, we are transported back in time to witness this architectural marvel before its demise. This print serves as both a testament to our ever-changing built environment and a reminder of how structures can leave lasting impressions on our collective memory.
