A cut-out-and-make model of an Edwardian fishmonger’s shop. I want it. Have fun at Home Of Paper Models.
The New So’ton - as others see it
Southern Daily Echo, 29th August 1953, reporting on a recent issue of “The Architects’ Journal”, in which 26 pages were devoted to reconstruction and planning in Southampton. Here is the final section:
NO BEARDS, FEW BOWS
Photographs and brief biographies of Corporation officals concerned with reconstruction and of private architects who are playing a big part in the design of new buildings are given prominence in “The Architects’ Journal.”
An article on Southampton’s private architects states that they do not inject into Southampton society that element of Bohemia which architects in other towns are capable of producing.
“There are no beards, few corduroys, and even the rare bow tie is sombre.”
