Behind Circus Eros Hoardings Lay Out Piccadilly Progress Suppose Traffic 1928


EDITORS COMMENTS
1. Title: "Piccadilly Circus in Transition: The 1928 Makeover (Work in Progress)" In this black-and-white photograph from 1928, Piccadilly Circus in London undergoes significant changes to its traffic layout. The iconic Eros statue, a beloved landmark, is hidden behind hoardings, suggesting that the renowned monument is undergoing restoration or modification. The circus, a major hub of activity and commerce in the heart of England, is a testament to the progress and evolution of the city. The photograph reveals a bustling scene of construction and transformation, with workers and vehicles navigating the maze of scaffolding and temporary barriers that surround the circus. The traffic flow is being rearranged, and the familiar layout is being disrupted, as the image shows cars and buses maneuvering around the obstacles. The hoardings, adorned with advertisements, offer a glimpse into the commercial activity that thrives in the area, even amidst the construction. The image captures the spirit of change and progress that characterized London in the early 20th century. The photograph serves as a reminder of the dynamic nature of urban spaces and the constant adaptation required to accommodate growth and development. The Eros statue, a symbol of the circus and the city, remains a beacon of continuity amidst the transformation, hinting at the enduring allure of Piccadilly Circus. This photograph, with its intriguing composition and historical significance, invites viewers to reflect on the ever-changing landscape of urban life and the role of progress in shaping our cities.
