Art Deco House, Flint, North Wales

On the way to Prestatyn and Rhyl we took the North Wales Expressway, aka the A 55. By contrast on the way back to Hawarden, we travelled by the coast road and as a consequence passed through the town of Flint where I spotted this Art Deco style house:-

Seen from right:-

Rule of three in windows to left, canopy, decorative roofline. Windows have been messed about with, though:-

From this angle the flat roof is obvious. The house is rendered in cream rather than the more usual Art Deco white:-

Art Deco in Rhyl, North Wales (i)

Rhyl is only a few miles from Prestatyn so we popped along the coast a bit. It’s a seaside town so naturally there’s some Art Deco.

Former Burton’s. Typical Burton’s Deco style:-
