Art Deco Britain: Buildings of the Interwar Years

Despite the huge popularity of Art Deco architecture, there is little that really explains the what, where, and how of Art Deco buildings in Britain. With this beautifully photographed volume, leading architectural historian Elain Harwood brings her trademark clarity and enthusiasm to the subject, from the genre's origins to the influence of international styles. She looks at houses, offices, factories, entertainment venues, and the architects who created them--including such specific buildings as the Midland Hotel in Morecambe
Eltham Palace, Broadcasting House, and the Carreras Cigarette Factory in London
Finella in Cambridge
St Christopher church in Liverpool
and Tindale Lido in Plymouth.
