An image shot in the wonderful India Buildings, Water Street, Liverpool.
India Buildings is a commercial building with its principal entrance in Water Street, Liverpool, Merseyside, England. Mainly an office building, it also contains an internal shopping arcade and the entrance to an underground station. It was built between 1924 and 1932. The building, its design influenced by the Italian Renaissance and incorporating features of the American Beaux-Arts style, occupies an entire block in the city.
India Building was designed by Arnold Thornely and Herbert J. Rowse, the assessor being Giles Gilbert Scott. It was built as a speculative venture by the shipping firm of Richard Durning Holt and Alfred Holt and Company (the Blue Funnel Line) partly for its own use, and partly for letting offices to other businesses.
I can remember, as a student, having to do some graphics work training in Liverpool, in an office near here, and being so taken with this building, I used to spend my lunchtimes here, it's a wonderful place, and it was great to go back. This image was shot from the Brunswick St entrance, looking across the lobby area.
