Turned Down

Hammonds Department Store, Ferensway, Kingston-upon-Hull, Humberside, TP Bennett & Son, 1952

Although English Heritage thought this a competent design, which married classicism with modernism, they thought it lacked the firm conviction and distinctive quality necessary to be added to the list. The store was the first to re-open after WWII and continues to hold a very prominent position in the city centre. Its future, considering the redevelopment of nearby areas, is by no means secure.

The Church of St George the Martyr, Elstan Way, Croydon, Surrey, John Leopold Denman Phase one (1952-53) completed 1966-67

Considered an interesting design by an already listed architect, the fact that the church was completed in two distinct phases, the second not to Denman’s original plan, seems to have counted against it. English Heritage paid tribute to the early nave, transepts and tower, but thought the Lady chapel, vestry and sanctuary lacked cohesion.
