Minories Car Park, 1 Shorter Street, City of London. A man in a suit stands in the basement excavations of Minories Car Park as two workers behind him break up concrete with pneumatic drills.
Laing built the Minories Car Park between July 1968 and December 1969. The site was a former Victorian railway yard. The brick and concrete bases of two locomotive turntables were in the way of the car parks piling foundations. They were eventually removed with controlled explosions
