Listings report, Summer 2002

The following buildings have been added to the Statutory List by the DCMS:

Friern Barnet Town Hall, Sir John Brown and AE Henson,1939-41
Spot-listed Grade II. Little altered, it is a good example of pared-down modernism, showing clear European influences, but executed in traditional materials and techniques.

NCP Car Park, Lex Garage, 32-36 Brewer Street, Westminster, London, Robert Sharp and James Joass, 1929. Spot-listed Grade II. Among the earliest surviving ramped multi-storey car-parks to be built in the country. Its monumental street presence endows it with considerable power.

Tyler's Cottage, 50 Oakhill Rd, Sevenoaks, H Baillie Scott, 1937
Spot-listed Grade II. An excellent example of a private dwelling in late Arts and Crafts style. Amazingly there is already an application to de-list.

We have supported the following buildings for inclusion in the Statutory List:

London Fire Headquarters, Albert Embankment, London, EP Wheeler for the LCC, 1934

UGC Cinema, formerly Carlton Cinema, Haymarket, London, Frank Verity and Samuel Beverley,1926-7

We have proposed the following building for inclusion in the Statutory List:

Stillness, Lodge Road, LB Bromley, 1934, RG Booth. An intact suburban private house in the moderne style.

Young Vic Theatre, London SE1, Howell, Killick, Partridge and Amis, 1970. This theatre was built as a temporary structure and is currently being redesigned to improve its facilities, but maintaining the auditorium.

School of Engineering and Science, University of Westminster, Lyons, Israel and Ellis, 1968 (see casework report)

Brunel University, Lecture Hall Block, Hillingdon, Middlesex, Sheppard Robson & Partners,1965-7 (see casework report)

The following buildings have been turned down for listing by the DCMS:

Post & Mail Building, Birmingham; John Madin & Partners, 1963-5
DCMS thought it not of high enough quality to merit listing.

South Bay Pool, Scarborough: Turned down by the DCMS and EH as 'this lido and changing rooms do not make for a unified single design'.

Cattle Market, St. Oswalds Road, Gloucester, Gloucestershire; J.V. Wall with A.J. Ault (City Architect' Department), 1955 Viewed as being a good example of a very typical piece of construction for its day, but not unique, hence it was not deemed worthy of listing.

The following building has been upgraded:

Creak Vean, Feock, Cornwall: Team 4, 1964-7 Success! Upgraded to II*.
