Passed this on the way to the British Lawnmower Museum. I’m not sure if its’ exact age, but I enjoyed it for its’ patterned windows at the side, typography above the door, and the all-glass entrance foyer (extension?).
Seaside moderne, the Northern way. Like many buildings of such nature, this had been a theatre, cinema, and a bingo hall, but is now in a sorry state. Now awaiting conversion to “residential, hotel, spa and retail units at ground floor, and the refurbishment of the existing auditorium as an event space”.
A love letter to a motorway (sorry, turnpike) in the New York Times (gift link) feels as if it was written specifically for me.
“In the interest of good health, digest a few important facts about the potato” — Informational poster for the Potato Marketing Board, likely dating back to the 80’s or 90’s, displayed in a closed cafe in the Kirkdale Shopping Centre, Bradford, 2025.
Not modernist, but I have a sweet spot for canals.
No parking here, please!
