⚠️Wolverhampton School of Art is under threat!

Designed 1966-70, the nine-storey block has been earmarked for potential demolition by Wolverhampton University.
C20 has submitted a listing application, and local campaigners have started a petition to save it.

Sad news that the Big Apple, Mumbles has been damaged by a car. A rare survival of a 1930s Cidatone kiosk of reinforced concrete, converted to an ice-cream kiosk. It's not the first time - the 2019 listing specified it was Ford Fiesta last time πŸ˜‰ Hopefully support will be available to fully restore!

UK's weird, wonderful and largely overlooked estate pubs are quickly vanishing Architectural investigators Matthew Bristow and Emily Cole warn that post-war drinking dens have fallen out of fashion, yet symbolise an important part of the UK's history

Hard to believe that this Milwaukee home was built over a century ago! It’s one of the β€œAmerican System-Built Homes”, designed by Frank Lloyd Wright in 1915, as affordable kit-built housing for those β€œof moderate income”. Sadly, stymied by WW1

And equally wonderful that the listing description for the Arts Building at Bangor has been upgraded to include the post-war additions - the Library Extension of 1963 and north-east range of 1968, both also Percy Thomas & Son.
