EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a remarkable moment in the construction of the iconic Millennium Dome in Greenwich, Greater London. Through the lens, we witness an awe-inspiring sight as an articulated lorry fearlessly navigates its way through the legs of one of the quadrapod bases to reach the towering pylons that support the dome's magnificent roof structure. The image, catalogued as part of the Breaking New Ground Project in partnership with the John Laing Charitable Trust, transports us back to a pivotal time in history – 1990s – when this exhibition pavilion was taking shape. The sheer scale and ambition behind this architectural marvel is evident as we gaze upon this snapshot frozen in time. As our eyes are drawn upwards towards the expansive dome itself, we can't help but marvel at its grandeur and engineering prowess. This photograph serves as a testament to human ingenuity and determination to push boundaries. Preserved by Historic England Archive, it allows us to reflect on how far we have come since then and appreciate those who played a role in bringing such visionary projects into reality. Let this image serve as a reminder that progress requires boldness and innovation – qualities embodied by both past generations and those yet to come.
