EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the Historic England Archive takes us back to June 1969, capturing a significant moment in the construction of Preston Bus Station. The image showcases the precise placement of a concrete beam, highlighting both the architectural brilliance and sheer strength that defined this iconic structure. Preston Bus Station, located on Tithebarn Street in Preston, stands as a testament to the brutalist style that emerged during post-war Britain. Its imposing presence and raw materiality reflect an era characterized by bold experimentation and utilitarian design. Designated as a Grade II listed building, this photograph reminds us of the historical significance attached to Preston Bus Station. It serves as a reminder of our collective heritage and provides insight into how architecture has evolved over time. The composition captures not only the technical aspects of construction but also reveals glimpses of human activity surrounding it. We can imagine workers laboring tirelessly amidst clouds of dust and noise, their dedication instrumental in bringing this monumental project to life. Thanks to photographers like John L. , we are able to appreciate these archival images that offer invaluable insights into our past. This particular photograph is a remarkable documentation of one pivotal moment during the creation of an enduring architectural masterpiece - Preston Bus Station.
