A 1970s colour photo taken from a high vantage point within the Barbican estate, looking down onto Barbican station during the latter half of the 20th century. The aerial perspective shows the open-air railway cutting where several tracks and platforms are visible, leading toward the tunnel mouth beneath the city’s complex layers of architecture. To the top left, the distinctive long roofs of the Smithfield Market buildings are visible, while the cluster of mature green trees identifies the site of Charterhouse Square. The foreground is dominated by the brutalist concrete balconies of the Barbican towers, overlooking a mix of older brick structures and mid-century office blocks. Several vintage vehicles, including a yellow van and a white car, navigate the street level below, capturing the dense and varied urban fabric of the City of London in the mid-to-late seventies.
