EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photo print, we witness the culmination of a three-year-long saga surrounding Coventry Cathedral's new flying Cross. The image captures a momentous occasion on the 22nd of May, 1970, as a skilled steeplejack delicately slots the spindle into the pinnacle of the fleche. The construction scene is enveloped in scaffolding, showcasing the immense effort and precision required to complete such an architectural marvel. It is evident that every detail has been meticulously planned and executed by dedicated craftsmen who have poured their hearts into this project. Coventry Cathedral stands proudly in its partially completed state, embodying both resilience and hope amidst its ongoing transformation. The cathedral's significance extends beyond mere bricks and mortar; it symbolizes rebirth after destruction during World War II—a testament to human determination to rise from ashes.
