Concrete Utilities catalogue c1938 - Avenue 4D column with 6ft bracket, Clacton on Sea, Essex
From the c1938 Concrete Utilities catalogue an illustration of the Avenue 4D column with a 6 foot bracket as seen in an installation in Clacton on Sea in Essex. The catalogue notes that "although on the sea coast maintenance costs are negligible" - a swipe at cast iron or steel columns, sea air and painting. That said I suspect such sea air could, at time, wreak havoc with concrete and reinforcing rods should they be exposed! A fine Esso poster in the background.
