Heathfield
Posted in Architecture, Art Deco, Trips at 20:30 on 21 April 2013
On the way south out of Workington we passed through Harrington (a suburb?) and the good lady spotted the house pictured below. Luckily there was an easy place to park for me to nip out and photograph it.
Heathfield has all the Art Deco hallmarks; flat roof, rounded wall edges, white rendering. Note the long window and the stepped frontage. All the eyes are poked out, though.
The above is the first view I took. The least interesting.
This last photo shows the rounded canopy over the entrance door.
Apart from the modernised glazing this house seems to have been maintained very much in keeping with its origins. It’s still imposing.
