Northbrook College, Worthing, Sussex; C.G. Stillman (County Architect), 1934

Streamlined modernist school building constructed around a 1911 building. Well proportioned façades and original staircase remain. Under threat of redevelopment.

Newbery Tower, Renfrew Street, Glasgow, Scotland; Keppie Henderson and Partners, 1969-70

Landmark in central Glasgow with well sculpted façades.

Co-operative Emporium, Godwin Street, Bradford, Yorkshire; WA Johnson, 1935

Mendelsohnian, extremely elegant and beautifully preserved department store; an iconic modernist building.

Borthwick Wharf, Deptford, Greenwich, London; Sir Edwin Cooper, 1934

Impressive brick box with good detailing, threatened with residential replacement scheme. Since turned down.

Church of the Epiphany, Elizabeth Street, Corby, Northamptonshire, DF Martin-Smith, 1961-62

Well preserved and interesting example of the post-war architecture of the new town development in Corby. The clerestorey lighting is highly effective giving the impression that the folded star shaped metal clad roof actually floats above alter.
