EDITORS COMMENTS
In this intriguing photograph, taken circa 1963, the modernity of London's GPO/British Telecom Tower stands in stark contrast to the Victorian elegance of an adjacent building. The image captures a pivotal moment in the city's architectural history, as the sleek, tall communication tower rises above the traditional, gothic-inspired structure. The GPO/British Telecom Tower, a symbol of progress and innovation in the field of telecommunications, is seen here in its early stages of construction. A crane looms large in the foreground, its long arm reaching towards the heavens as it lifts steel beams and other building materials up to the growing structure. The tower's distinctive turret, which would later become a recognizable feature of the London skyline, is just beginning to take shape. Juxtaposed against the tower is a Victorian building, its ornate gothic windows and intricate detailing a stark contrast to the tower's clean lines and minimalist design. A weathercock atop the building catches the wind, adding a touch of whimsy to the scene. The photograph offers a fascinating glimpse into the past, highlighting the tension between old and new, tradition and progress. It serves as a reminder of the ever-evolving nature of urban landscapes and the role that architecture plays in shaping our cities. This image, captured by an unknown photographer for Mary Evans Picture Library, is a must-have for anyone interested in the history of London, architecture, or telecommunications.
