Onslow Court is a spectacular example of Art Deco Architecture, a purpose-built block of flats constructed in 1933. Located on the seafront at the Eastern edge of Worthing, it was designed to offer unrestricted sea views in what was, for the time, a relatively tranquil setting.
Originally, Onslow Court had thirty luxury apartments available, all owned by a company called Knight & Co. and all available for rental only. One flat was occupied by the caretaker who looked after the whole building (and the communal boiler). This is no longer the case, and this flat eventually became available to rent and then later to purchase. One other flat was split into two, bringing the total number of flats to the current figure of thirty-two.
The building was designed by A. T. W. Goldsmith, who was also responsible for several other buildings in Worthing. (onslowcourt.org)

Thanks for looking :)
Witley Court in Worcestershire, England is a Grade I listed building and was once one of the great houses in the area. Today it is a spectacular ruin after it was devastated by fire in 1937.
Bevin Court.
After many years I finally managed to see Bevin Court during the Open House event. It’s a modernist housing in Finsbury, London, built in 1954 and is still used today as housing, the highlight being this stunning central staircase.
The Four Courts complex houses the Irish Supreme Court, the Court of Appeal, the High Court and the Dublin Circuit Court.

Witley Court in Worcesteshire is the remains of a grand house which burnt down in 1937. It was built by the Foley family, who had made their money through the iron industry. It then passed to the Ward family, also industrialists, then to the Dudleys but in 1920 it was sold to Sir Herbert Smith, a carpet manufacturer.
This is a view from the top of the slope south of the house.
Hampton Court Palace is a royal palace in the London Borough of Richmond upon Thames, Greater London, in the historic county of Middlesex, and within the postal town East Molesey, Surrey.
Thomas Wolsey, Archbishop of York, Chief Minister and favourite of Henry VIII, took over the site of Hampton Court Palace in 1514. Development began in 1515 , but in 1529 Wolsey fell from favour. The King seized the palace for himself and later enlarged it. Along with St. James's Palace, it is one of only two surviving palaces out of the many owned by King Henry VIII.
The shot is taken from the south side of the palace in the Privy Garden. This garden, originally William III's private garden, was replanted in 1992 in period style with manicured hollies and yews along a geometric system of paths.
Visited Coughton Court, a favourite National Trust property of mine. The Throckmorton family live there who have links to the Gunpowder plot. A lovely Saturday afternoon.
Clevedon Court was built in 1320 by the de Clyvedon family and contains many later additions. The 14th-century manor house nestled between Bristol and the North Somerset coast with rich literary connections to Tennyson and Thackeray.
The property boasts an 18th-century terraced garden, described by Gertrude Jekyll as ‘one of the noblest ranges of terraced walls in England’. The house has been in the care of the National Trust since 1961.
A picture I had visualised for a long time that finally came together. This might be a trial run for a more elaborate version of the same idea.
