Art Deco Garage, Berwick
Posted in Art Deco at 20:15 on 9 January 2014
When I was down in Berwick for the cup game a few weeks ago I had time to photograph that Art Deco garage I had noticed from a distance when we stopped off there in 2010.
It’s just south of the main road bridge across the River Tweed. This is a stitch of the two photos I had to take to get the whole frontage in.
Right hand side. At time of photo it was in the hands of Beds at Berwick but for sale:-
The left hand side shows the date of construction:-

Hi Jack—
The picture with the date 1937 reminded me instantly of the famous (to us New York antiquarians) Bronx Terminal Market, which was cornerstone-laid by Mayor Fiorello LaGuardia. There’s a good photo of it here— http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:BTM_149_jeh.jpg

That’s an obvious deco building there, Denis.
It’s always good when there’s a date on one.
