Good view of Spence’s glowering Trawsfynydd Power Station from last night’s campsite

I’ve written about Arthur Quarmby’s pleasingly bizarre Mole Manor for the Twentieth Century Society, having a huge amount of fun reading about Quarmby’s hugely varied output in the process!

In love with the whimsical castle he built for his grandchildren
Finally made it to Frederick Gibberd’s house and garden in Harlow. What a bucolic place

Walking in the Yorkshire Dales today and stumbled across George Pace’s buildings at Scargill House completely by accident. The chapel is wonderful - it feels incredibly modern for a building completed over sixty years ago.
