New Town Herts

22/2/2014

Introducing a new section to our website, New Town Herts, in which we will be documenting the modernist and art deco architecture of the Garden Cities and New Towns of Hertfordshire.

Letchworth Garden City, Welwyn Garden City, Hatfield, Stevenage and Hemel Hempstead were all built in the 20th Century to create living places balance between work and leisure, urban and rural. These towns feature a variety of architectural styles from Arts & Crafts to Brutalism, and designs from a range of architects, such as Louis de Soissons, Clifford Culpin and Sir Basil Spence. 

In this section you will find guides to the modernist and art deco buildings of each town, a map of all the buildings and a profile of some of the important town architects and planners.

Hi
just came across your interesting site.
I just wanted to let you know that one of the schools featured has a slightly incorrect date......Grange Park School Hayes Middlesex was actually opened in 1935 (rather than built in 1938 as mentioned)
Not a criticism, just a note.......oh and as an added anecdote It was built by Messrs James Stewart and Son Ltd at a cost of
£15,500 including the caretakers‟ cottage.

Hi Claire,

Thank you for your comment and the information about the building of the school. Can I ask your source for the date? I used this http://www.british-history.ac.uk/report.aspx?compid=22398 which gives 1938.

Regards

Josh
