EDITORS COMMENTS
1. Title: "A Sixties Glimpse of Liverpool's Skyline: The Emergence of The Plaza from the Construction Site" This evocative photograph captures a pivotal moment in Liverpool's architectural history, as The Plaza, then under construction, began to assert its presence in the city's iconic skyline. Taken from the top of the Sir John Moores Building at 100 Old Hall Street in the mid-1960s, the image offers a unique perspective of the developing urban landscape. The photograph's focal point is the majestic Royal Liver Building, an architectural masterpiece that has long been a symbol of Liverpool's maritime heritage and resilience. The River Mersey, with its bustling water traffic, stretches out beyond, reflecting the ever-present connection between the city and the sea. The Plaza, originally built as a headquarters for a prominent Liverpool figure, John Moores, is now a cherished landmark in its own right. Named after its founder, the building's construction began in the early 1960s and was completed in 1964. At the time, it represented a bold step forward in modern architecture, with its distinctive curved design and innovative use of materials. As seen in this photograph, The Plaza's construction was a transformative process, altering the Liverpool skyline and leaving a lasting impact on the city's urban landscape. Today, it stands as a testament to the vision and ambition of its creators and continues to be a source of pride for the people of Liverpool. This photograph, from The Cloudesley Collection at Mary Evans Picture Library, offers a fascinating glimpse into Liverpool's past, providing a valuable record of the city's architectural evolution and the enduring allure of its waterfront.
