EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a significant moment in the construction of the iconic Barbican complex in the City of London. The image showcases McKinney Foundations Ltd carrying out pile boring on the Phase IV contract, as a group of intrigued spectators gather nearby to witness this impressive feat. The negative register reveals that McKinney was present at Barbican, specifically J. Mowlems site during this particular instance. Although Myton, a subsidiary of Taylor Woodrow, was awarded the Phase IV contract for the area behind the Barbican centre, it is worth noting that Mowlem received a separate contract for clearing and pile work on this section. The photograph exudes an air of anticipation and awe as we see workers diligently operating heavy machinery while others observe with curiosity. It serves as a testament to human ingenuity and determination in shaping our urban landscapes. Preserved by A© Historic England Archive, this image offers us a glimpse into an important chapter in London's architectural history. The Barbican complex stands today as one of Britain's most renowned examples of Brutalist architecture, and this print allows us to appreciate both its grandeur and the meticulous efforts undertaken during its construction.
