Canary Wharf: Spectacular photos of skyscraper rediscovered
Spectacular photographs of a Canary Wharf skyscraper being completed have been rediscovered More Than 30 years after they were taken.
Amid strong winds, Tony Brien sat in a wooden box suspended by a crane some 250m above East London to capture the images of One Canada Square .
Previously believed to have been lost, the photographs were uncovered during a search of Mr Brien's archives.
He Said he was " completely staggered" to find The Photos from November 1990.
Mr Brien said he had worked on the Canary Wharf project before when he was approached to photograph the " topping out" of One Canada Square .
" I said 'fine', not realising quite at that time that the only way I could really do it was to go up in a bucket or a crate from the ground which was attached to a crane, " he explained.
Mr Brien, from Felsted in Essex, said there were concerns about his safety on The Day The Pyramid was laid on top of The Building , because of the strong winds.
He Said : " I was waiting in The Wind , Hanging in this bucket, effectively, with every camera you could shake a stick at. "
" They had attached to it The Union flag, United States flag and The Canadian flag, " He Said .
" It was all knotted up and I shouted across to him (a Construction Worker ) 60ft away: 'Can you pull The Flag out?' And he's tugging away trying to do it And Then he eventually pulled The Flag out.
" The images with that moment and the steel workers grappling with this - I don't know what it weighed, but quite a bit - Hanging from another crane, was quite a scene. "
Mr Brien explained that because he had moved studios several times, he thought he had lost The Photos until six months ago.
" I was hunting for Something Else and I came across them and was completely staggered, " He Said .
" I'd often thought about the images and thought it was a terrible tragedy that they had never been seen. And to find them; I literally had to sit Down . . Thankfully I'd kept them properly and they were fine. "
