Put Forward

Milton Keynes Central Shopping Building, Midsummer Boulevard, Milton Keynes, Buckinghamshire; Derek Walker, 1973–9, unlisted

Support from a wide range of local groups, architects and our own members, has given great weight to our efforts to get this fantastic building listed. We have put it forward for Grade II* and reiterated our objection to another management plan. We have also put forward Liliane Lijns kinetic, ‘Circle of Light’ sculpture, which hangs in the centre at Grade II.

Building 50, Thornton Aero Engine Research Laboratory, Poole Lane, Ellesmere Port, Ellesmere Port and Neston, Cheshire; Sir AJ Cobham with Sir J Burnet & Partners, 1943–6, unlisted

Put forward at Grade II, this is an important building both to the history of Shell as a company and to the wider history of aviation. The main feature is a decorated, octagonal tower which above the entrance features reliefs of aircraft in flight.

Post Office, King’s Lynn, Norfolk; DN Dyke, 1939, unlisted

The post office is to close, putting it at risk of demolition and redevelopment.

The Barbican Estate: Milton Court, City, London; Chamberlin, Powell & Bon, 1956–81, unlisted

After one year there is still no decision on whether this building should be listed.
