The #irises enjoyed this long, dry spring. No rain to spoil the blooms. Here's their last hurrah! Allegiance, Tempting Fate, Rajah, Fort Apache.

#cleethorpes #artdeco This is the former Electricity Board Showroom of 1937, a really striking design on a corner site with fantastic original glazing. Grade II listed #1930sarchitecture

Chain Stores is here! It's Publication Day - and my first copies arrived in the morning post! Here's a glimpse inside the covers. Over the next couple of weeks I'll post some of the material that I couldn't fit into the book, including extra pictures.

A favourite story from the 'Chain Stores' book - Mazawattee's disastrous and short-lived attempt to open a chain of shops! Only open for a few months in 1905-06 - yet (astonishingly!) at least two survive. buildingourpast.com/2025/05/28/the…

Another historic #Letchworth landmark bites the dust - Lloyds & Co. (mowers, agricultural implements etc) built a new factory on Birds Hill in 1915. Burnt down rather dramatically last night.😥

New CRSBI entry for #Portsmouth Cathedral. Rather more Early English than Romanesque, I’m afraid, but it’s all about contextualisation! Also new #Hampshire entries for #SouthHayling and #Wickham. crsbi.ac.uk/view-item?i=14…

Hoping that #TGJones will cherish the early C20th shopfitting of #WHSmith - the tile panels, newsboy signs, decorative leadwork and fine lettering. New blog post: buildingourpast.com/?p=11422&previ…

#MomentsOfBeauty in #Glasgow: It’s a nice touch that the new Paesano Pizza in Shawlands has incorporated the WH Dinwoodie #ghostsign into their shopfront fascia while including a pizza chef uniform clothesline mural. It certainly lifts this classic Glasgow corner tenement 🥰!
