None to report

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

Littlewoods Pools Headquarters, Liverpool, Gerald de Coursey Fraser, 1938
A real landmark building for Liverpool in the art-deco style, which is threatened by possible demolition.

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

Hatchet Wood Farm, Skirmett, Bucks, Garnett, Cloughley, Blakemore and Associates 1967-8
Turned down as it failed to meet the tough criteria for post-war listing. It was cited as a simple house in terms of finishes and fixtures and as some interiors had been altered it was deemed unlistable. Unfortunately the bulldozers will move in once planning permission for a new development is granted.

Cole Bros Department Store, Sheffield, Yorke, Rosenberg and Mardall, 1964
Put in for listing in October but the building had been granted a Certificate of Immunity in September. Not considered to be of a high enough standard to list. The building will be demolished to make way for Sheffield’s new retail quarter.

Applications supported by the Society for listing and turned down:

Borthwick Wharf, Deptford, London, Sir Edwin Cooper, 1934
A rare example of an industrial building by the architect, it was not considered to possess enough finesse to be listed.
