We made a trip from Hawarden to the nearby town of Wrexham as we’d never visited there before.

On the way in from the west we passed Glyndwr University (some Art Deco styling) and the Racecourse Ground but I didn’t stop to photograph those till we were on the way back.

In the town centre I found more Art Deco.

Wrexham’s Burton’s has that company’s classic Art Deco style.

Upper part:-

Lower portion:-

Side view:-

Wrexham Victoria Centre, 13 Hill Street, is minor deco; mainly in the pediment:-

McDonald’s occupies a strongly Art Deco building. Strong horizontals and verticals, flat roof, corner window.

We were in Peterborough in Sep 2018 to attend an antique fair. Cruising round the town centre the evening we arrived I found some Art Deco buildings.

Minor deco, brick-built:-

The Burton’s was hard to photograph due to trees in the way:-

Close-up shows the typical deco styling:-

Edward’s, however, was a stunner:-

Horizontals, verticals, rounded corner, canopy…:-

Note windows with streamlined and canopied decoration:-

Kendal is reasonably out of the way but it nevertheless has some Art Deco buildings.

This one is now a Home Bargains but looks as if it could once have been a Woolworths:-

There are nice curved swoops below the roofline. It’s a pity the windows’ eyes have been put out, though:-

Bodycare has “rule of three” in the windows and the roofline is decoish:-

It’s not surprising if a Burton’s is deco but in this one the main pointer is the company’s logo just below the roofline. The rest looks older than deco:-

Card Factory is just about deco. Is it the rendering – sadly now grey rather than white – or the roofline which gives it a deco feel?

In all our travels down to England we had never stopped at Penrith, Cumbria, till February last year. We also made a stop there in September 2018 when we went down south again. Photographs were taken over the two visits.

It’s a compact town with some individual shops but some chain ones too.

Like many other towns Penrith’s Burton’s building is typically Art Deco:-

Corner view from south-west:-

Corner view from north-west:-

Art Deco detail:-

These photos were shot from one or other of the two bus tours we took in Liverpool.

This looks like a former Burton’s* but may not be. It’s certainly Art Deco:-

A former Woolworths is to its left (right as you look at it.)

Former Woolworths closer view:-

*Edited to add:- I looked at this again and realised it was more like an old cinema so I researched old Liverpool cinemas and discovered it was the ABC Lime Street, see here.

Dumfries’s Burton’s is typically Art Deco in style. Unusually for a Burton’s, though, it is built in red sandstone rather than having the usual white stone covering.

Front aspect:-

Upper detailing. Logo and motto, “Montague BURTON the Tailor of Taste”:-

Side view:-

Again the upper portion has a Burton’s logo and motto:-

We stopped for the night just north of Nottingham and headed for Chesterfield in the morning as we knew from our previous visit it had a thriving street market as so many towns in England do.

Somehow I’d missed almost all the Deco in the town centre.

Greenwood’s:-

Note the beautiful detailing. Rule of three in the horizontal banding and great rectangle with diamond inlay plus horizontal banding throughout:-

McDonald’s has a hint of deco:-

Last time this was a nightclub called Escapade. Now it’s Department:-

Rule of three in the windows. Good brickwork:-

Again rule of three; at least in upper windows which don’t seem to have been replaced. Good horizontal banding:-

Deco corner site. Note the detailing between the upper and lower window layers especially on the unpainted brick gable:-

As is usual the town’s deco pièce de résistance is a former Burton’s (stitched photo) :-

In amongst all this modern stuff could be found Tudor style timbering. The Twelfth Century Royal Oak:-

And an old bus, destination Brampton. We’d pass through Brampton later:-

There’s a lovely curved frontage to Burton’s, King’s Lynn:-

Detailing round window:-

Column detail:-

Roofline detail. Odd Cadbury’s Smash-like figure stencilled to right here:-

On the way back to Scotland we stopped off at Stafford for a break.

The place is festooned with Art Deco.

This is the Edinburgh Woollen Mill:-

And here’s a detail:-

This is the upper frontage of the Nat West Building:-

This is the upper frontage of the Nat West Building:-

This is another shop’s frontage:-

Here’s Marks and Spencer’s (a stitch of two photos):-

Art Deco, or at least 1930s, style shop upper window. The glazing looks original to me. Possibly Critall. Good brickwork too.

A pub/restaurant called Casa. Perhaps modern but has deco style

I’ve been in Stirling many times but never really looked for any Art Deco.

We were there a couple of weeks ago, after viewing a house in nearby Bridge of Allan, and wandered into the city centre where I saw this on Murray Place:-

I can’t have looked up before but the frontage (and sideage) is pretty kenspeckle for all that. I don’t know how I could have missed it all those other times I’ve been there. By its appearance it may once have been a Burton’s.

The only other building we saw that remotely resembles deco was on Viewfield Place. Minor deco at best.
