Art Deco in Cheltenham, Gloucestershire
Posted in Art Deco, Trips, Architecture at 10:00 on 18 April 2012
There is a nice block of flats called Cambray Court located in the centre of Cheltenham. Reminiscent of Kelvin Court, Glasgow.
This is Monsoon. Originally a Burton’s. The link has some good pictures of the detailing.
Now Poundland. Goodness knows what it was to begin with.
Starbucks. Ditto.
Art Deco houses on Evesham Road. Amazingly the original glazing seems to still be in place. (They look like Critall windows to me.) Compare and contrast with Silver End.
The upward curve on the wall at the side is nice on that first one. Three of this collection of 5 buildings are set in a little crescent off the main road:-
The last two semis of the five:-
Cheek by jowl with the previous semi. Glazing replaced. (Eyes poked out):-
The next house along has suffered a similar fate.
Not a bad haul of deco in Cheltenham, then, for a three hour visit.

Hi ca&a,
Thanks for commenting.
Sadly I didn’t see the Odeon when I visited Cheltenham. I’ve now found pictures on the net. (http://www.cinematopia.co.uk/cheltenham/) It’s a cracker! (From the same link I also see the Daffodil cinema is/was Art Deco.)
I’ve had a look at and signed the petition.
Save the ladies!
