Description: | Tower 42, formerly known as the Nat West Tower, was completed in 1979, and until the construction of One Canada Square in Docklands, was the tallest building in the UK. The building was constructed by the National Westminster Bank (Nat West), and viewed from above, the lay-out resembles their logo. The building was badly damaged in the Bishopsgate Bombing of 1993 and required extensive and expensive re-construction. Following this, Nat West sold the Tower to a property company, who re-named it and rented it out as offices. This photograph shows the early phases of the Tower?s construction. | License: | http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/2.5/ | Publisher: | Bishopsgate Institute | Rights holder: | Bishopsgate Institute | Subjects: | Environment Cityscape | Temporal: | c1972 | Source: | Bishopsgate Institute | Identifier: | http://www.20thcenturylondon.org.uk/rser... | Go to resource |
