@gardnergareth @cwestweets @BrutalHouse @C20Society @modernistsocBHM as soon as you said Stratford I knew the ones you meant... sweet.

@JohnNordon @cwestweets @BrutalHouse @C20Society @modernistsocBHM There are some nice shop buildings in Stratford also by him. He was busy in Warwickshire!

@gardnergareth @cwestweets @BrutalHouse @C20Society @modernistsocBHM ...and Sydenham...

@gardnergareth @cwestweets @BrutalHouse @C20Society @modernistsocBHM He also did the Spa Centre which is looking more Finnish every-time I look at it...

@gardnergareth @cwestweets @BrutalHouse @C20Society @modernistsocBHM The red sandstone is very Kenilworth...contextual modernism...

@JohnNordon @cwestweets @BrutalHouse @C20Society @modernistsocBHM I was really sad about the police station too. Modest but well proportioned and dignified. The Kenilworth complex with the police station, library and housing behind is very nice, especially with the red sandstone.

@gardnergareth @cwestweets @BrutalHouse @C20Society @modernistsocBHM you can walk right through to the Market Square, or used to be able to, but it was not promoted...

@cwestweets @JohnNordon @BrutalHouse @C20Society @modernistsocBHM Phwoar!!

@cwestweets @gardnergareth @BrutalHouse @C20Society @modernistsocBHM The whole block is fascinating and bonkers...

@gardnergareth @cwestweets @BrutalHouse @C20Society @modernistsocBHM RIP the police station... actually a fine building when you looked at the detail... the small complex of public buildings in Kenilworth is also rather lovely - I think it was the councils architects dept when they had one...

@JohnNordon @cwestweets @BrutalHouse @C20Society @modernistsocBHM You think you know a place…

@gardnergareth @cwestweets @BrutalHouse @C20Society @modernistsocBHM yes it is...

@cwestweets @BrutalHouse @C20Society @modernistsocBHM Where is that? Is it inside the shire hall/courts complex?

And, potentially looking at types of #nomadic housing which don’t rely on prohibitively costly land @Ubuild_UK @Rob_Fiehn @OfficeSandM @DavidLockAssoc @JohnNordon

@clairebennie @Rob_Fiehn @VincentLacovara Rendered speechless

It’s hard to explain how weird this building is. Only managed to get this photo from a moving car.

@clairebennie @Rob_Fiehn @VincentLacovara CPD and free sandwiches…..

@clairebennie @Rob_Fiehn @VincentLacovara Cheeky wee one in Barnet too

I could do with some irregular freelance help making my squiggles legible, building context cad models, showing why I’m wrong in sketch-up, etc. Can offer money in return. DMs open.
