As it's World Book Day, what better way to celebrate books than by listening to my talk 'The Art Deco Reader' for @ArtDecoSocUK? Over 130 books covered in 50 minutes! Just £2 to watch: vimeo.com/ondemand/thear…

Thursday is currently my favourite day of the week with @C20Society Spring Lecture Series #C20BritishIsles with Liverpool tonight given by Dr Joseph Staples which is so interesting when you think it’s the city where Liam McCormick studied architecture soaking in Dutch modernism

If you ever pass by this building on Arthur Bunder road, don’t miss the original Deco window grilles - an abstract geometric representation of the sunset on sea waves (Image 2) (2/3)

Zohair Mansion, Colaba Originally known as “Lentinage” after its owner Pherozshaw C. Lentin, the Mansion is a symmetrical apartment building with central stair tower flanked by balconies with rounded edges. Contrasting vertical bands draw your eye skyward - up, up and away!(1/3)

Couldn't pass this beauty by today without taking a snap. Harry Weedon's Harrogate Odeon looking magnificent in the February sunshine @Artdecomagpie @mod_in_metro @ArtDecoSocUK

Here's my late 1930's Hazel Atlas "Moderntone" creamer and teacup! I love this style, I think it's so cool. I'm trying to collect more of the set but it's usually too expensive

Check out this cool headstone! It's a skyscraper! Built in 1935.

Belle Tout Lighthouse, Eric Ravilious, 1939. The lighthouse is located overlooking Beachy Head in East #Sussex on the @SouthDownsWayNT. The original artwork was sold at @ChristiesInc in 2015 and I believe it is now in a private collection.

Wow! A heritage win against ‘The aviation regulations’. Excellent news! Is there a cocktail bar?
