Grey Wings, Ashtead, Surrey; Sir Giles Gilbert Scott, 1913, II

A private house by Scott, built as a commission with his brother Adrian. Aside from being an early and rare building by the famous architect the interest lies also in the butterfly Edwardian plan. Grey Wings survives with very few alterations.

Neck or Entrance building, Boscombe Pier, Bournemouth, Dorset; Bournemouth Borough Engineers Department, 1958-60, II

This playful structure was designed very much in the spirit of the Festival of Britain and is a delightful architectural focus on the pier.
