Filtration Building

Leamington Spa Railway Station is a gem of Art Deco architecture. Built in the late 1930s, it stands out from other British stations with its clean lines, geometric patterns, and overall sense of grandeur. Stepping inside the Grade II listed building is like entering a time capsule, with a restored booking hall, waiting room, and even a café reflecting the stylish era.

, London Road, East Grinstead, England, United Kingdom, UK

On a summer afternoon, the stone facade of the Whitehall building stands along London Road in East Grinstead, England. The building's early 20th-century architecture, featuring prominent bay windows and carved lettering, now houses a variety of modern ground-floor businesses. In the foreground, a lamppost decorated with vibrant hanging flower baskets adds a splash of colour to the street scene, where daily life continues amidst the town's architectural history.

Here was yet another oblique view of yet another office tower on yet another streetcorner. Now we were "showing the building in relation to its surroundings," great.
