UPDATE: Councillors have rejected plans to demolish the former Central Cinema (1930) in Cambridge, following objections from C20 Society. Solution? Retain the handsome Art Deco façade and incorporate it into a new office and retail development behind. See here for other examples: x.com/C20Society/sta…

UPDATE: Sad news via @andybrammers, that the lovely 1923 Clough Williams-Ellis cottage in Oxford has now been demolished. It was commissioned by the Canadian author and early 20th century feminist Lily Dougall, and her same-sex partner Sophia Earp. C20 Society attempted to save the property back in 2022, but our application to spot list was rejected.

NEWS // C20 is seeking a new home for a space-age classroom, inspired by the iconic Stirling Prize winning Lord's Media Centre. Designed by Future Systems in 2004, the Ingenium Pod at Grey Court School in Richmond-upon-Thames was once heralded as the most futuristic classroom in Britain, but now faces demolition as the school have outgrown the structure. The Society is issuing an urgent call-out for any interested parties who may be able to relocate and reuse the 100sqm pod. Sports hub? Ice-cream parlour? Park cafe? Or how about a Serpentine Pavilion based on reuse for a change? There's opportunity a-plenty, but potential new owners will need to move quickly - the structure must be removed by the end of the school term. ➡️ c20society.org.uk/news/wanted-ne…
