Deco

[withdrawn] around High and Over which is Britain's earliest example of modernist architecture and in my opinion it is really rather cool. Check out the pictures.

It is the daddy of cluster of smaller but similarly styled buildings known as the sun houses and originally they all formed a small hamlet of arcitectural brutalism before an estate of rather unsympahetic houses vandalised the place in the 1960s (First and Second Sun Houses pictured below).

The Third Sun house (below) came up for rent earlier this year and me and Mark briefly considered moving in before concluding that even with combined rental payments, clearly could not afford to do so. However it did allow me the opportunity to have a nose around which was a bit of fun.

These were all built in the 1920s before the rest of Amersham somewhat unceremoniously engulfed them. Can you imagine what the residents of 1920s Amersham must have thought of these when they were built? Bit like Metropolis landing in your back yard.
