This print takes us back to the bustling streets of London in 1907. The image showcases a group of dedicated construction workers diligently laying a hollow pot reinforced concrete floor at number 8 Lloyds Avenue, City of London. The innovative hollow pot system, also known as the Kahn system after its inventor Julius Kahn, was widely used for flooring during this era. Its implementation in this building designed by Richard Norman Shaw for Associated Portland Cement Manufacturers represents the cutting-edge technology of its time. Captured by Bedford Lemere and Co. , renowned photographers specializing in architectural documentation, this photograph beautifully captures the essence of Edwardian-era construction work. The attention to detail is evident as each worker focuses on their task with precision and dedication. Through this image, we are transported back over a century ago to witness the craftsmanship and hard work that went into constructing buildings like these. It serves as a reminder of how far we have come in terms of construction techniques while honoring those who laid the foundations for our modern cities.
