Minories Car Park JLP01_08_082403
Minories Car Park, 1 Shorter Street, City of London. The entrance to the staircase of the City Engineers Highways Depot, built as part of the contract for Minories Car Park.
The building was connected to the basement of the car park. It housed workshops, a canteen and rest room, offices and a caretakers flat. The surface treatment of the exterior walls is visible in this photograph. Hemlock boards were used on the shuttering to leave an impression of the timber in the concrete surfaces. The architect E G Chandler took inspiration from Queen Elizabeth Hall on the Southbank for this surface treatment. The complicated shape of the building meant its construction was difficult. No two sections of shuttering were the same so they could not be reused for a different part of the building
