A Son of the Rock

On the way down south in the summer we stopped off in Buxton, Derbyshire, a former spa town. (Well, I think the spa is still there.)

It’s a nice wee place. Perhaps not so wee.

And I found one deco building; a Co-op in the main street in the lower part of the town. (We only found the upper part of the town by accident by following a sign to a second-hand bookshop. It’s ten or so minutes walk away from the lower town.)

View of detailing on roof line. The windows’ eyes have been poked out. Obviously built in 1934, bang in the deco period:-

Showing detailing on “gable” end:-
