The Shrubbery, Grosvenor Road, Redbridge, London; Cockett, Henderson and Gillow, c1935

Apartment block in the modern idiom, exceptionally well detailed and well preserved.

Houses for Visiting Mathematicians, Warwick University, Midlands; Howell Killick Partridge and Amis, 1968-70

Curved brick buildings on a plan following the requirement for continuous blackboards onto which lengthy equations can be written. The houses form an intimate group, placed prominently on a hill top and arranged in a circle but avoiding overlooking.

Cabinet Makers Factory, Lower Bristol Road, Bath, Somerset; Yorke Rosenberg and Mardall (job architect: Brian Henderson), 1966-67

Built for the production and storage of furniture, on an open rectangular plan. The German space frame system Mero was employed here for the first time in Britain, being held up by elegant slim concrete columns. The production area is enveloped by a steel frame filled in with asbestos sheets and glazing.

Marine Gate, Marine Drive, Brighton, Sussex; Wimperis, Simpson and Guthrie, 1937-39

We have supported a listing request by a local resident for this large modernist apartment block and hope to prevent a wholesale window replacement with uPVC.

Matthiae Café, 82-84 Kew Road, Richmond Surrey; architect unknown, 1936
