    The Twentieth Century Society North West Group Chair's Report 2017

    The Twentieth Century Society North West Group Chair’s Report 2017 The North West Group have had a busy year in 2017, with a number of successful tours and high profile pieces of casework. Tours For our first tour of 2017 we ventured to the affluent Manchester suburb of Hale. This was because Hale has one of the highest number of Edgar Wood houses in the country, and some of his grandest and most unusual designs. Also on this walking tour, we visited the lovely post war church of Holy Angels, which disappointingly was turned down for listing a few years ago. In contrast, in early summer we had a walking tour round central Liverpool and Birkenhead to look at its inter war architectural gems associated with Herbert Rowse and the Liverpool School of Architecture. We saw the majesty of his former Martin’s Bank HQ and the magnificent neo-classical shopping arcade in his India Buildings, but both sadly looked a little forlorn. We looked at some of Liverpool’s grandest commercial buildings, showing Liverpool’s status as a global city. We ended the day by passing through the road tunnel under the Mersey to visit the brooding and monumental brick deco ventilation tower for the Mersey tunnels, by Rowse that wouldn’t look out of place in Gotham City. A more intimate tour in the Autumn was a walking tour of some buildings by Roger Stephenson, introduced by the architect. This included his impressive new building for Chetham’s School of Music, including a new concert hall, of pale brown brick in a style reminiscent of the brick expressionist buildings of the early twentieth century in the Netherlands and Germany.
