EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the bustling city of Liverpool in June 1947. The scene captures a significant moment in history - the demolition of the Customs House. Standing tall behind this iconic building is a mighty 10-ton Derrick crane, its imposing presence ready to assist in the intricate operations ahead. The sheer size of this crane is awe-inspiring, with its impressive 120-foot long jib reaching towards the sky. As we gaze at this image, our eyes are drawn to the group of diligent workmen who are diligently erecting this colossal machinery. Their determination and expertise reflect their commitment to completing this challenging task successfully. The Customs House itself stands as a symbol of authority and control, once housing important offices such as customs and excise departments as well as dock offices and post office facilities. Its demolition signifies progress and change within Liverpool's ever-evolving architectural landscape during that era. Willasey's skillful capture transports us back in time, allowing us to witness firsthand an essential chapter in Liverpool's history. This photograph serves not only as a testament to human ingenuity but also reminds us of how cities transform over time while preserving memories for generations to come.
