1950 Berry Civic Clock Foundation Fountain Hampshire Laid Magnificent Southampton Webber Deco Designed
EDITORS COMMENTS
This striking photograph captures the magnificence of Southampton Civic Centre, the first civic centre in Britain, located in Southampton, Hampshire. Designed by the renowned architect E. Berry Webber, the foundation stone of this architectural masterpiece was laid in 1930. The building's impressive Art Deco design is evident in the sleek lines of the clock tower and the ornate fountain at its entrance. The foundation stone, now a historical relic, lies at the base of the clock tower, a testament to the building's rich history. The clock, a prominent feature of the Civic Centre, is a symbol of time and progress, while the fountain adds an element of beauty and tranquility to the bustling city centre. The Civic Centre was built in the 1930s, a time when the Art Deco style was at its height of popularity. The building's circular design and use of geometric shapes and bold lines reflect the aesthetic of the era. The use of circular motifs can also be seen in the design of the clock face and the fountain. The photograph, taken in the 1950s, captures the building in its prime. The 1950s were a time of optimism and prosperity in Britain, and the Civic Centre, with its modern and innovative design, was a symbol of progress and civic pride. Today, the Southampton Civic Centre remains an important landmark in the city, a reminder of its rich history and architectural heritage. The building continues to serve as a hub for local government and community activities, a testament to its enduring significance in the life of Southampton and its people.
