The rare images were uncovered during a search of photography archives more than 30 years on.
The photographs of the "topping out" ceremony at One Canada Square were rediscovered last year
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. "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."I was waiting in the wind, hanging in this bucket, effectively, with every camera you could shake a stick at"
He said: "I was waiting in the wind, hanging in this bucket, effectively, with every camera you could shake a stick at."Mr Brien said about 20 steel workers waited on several levels at the top of the building for the pyramid to be moved across "like a satellite""It was all knotted up and I shouted across to him 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.
