Mainstream Modern is a living and growing resource for everyone
The idea of mainstream modern is an inclusive one that attempts to celebrate the mundane and municipal alongside the marvellous. At some point in mid-1950s Britain, almost all new architecture became modern, neo-classical and vernacular styles faded from production and, in the long aftermath of war, swathes of construction transformed the country in a sweeping manner not seen since the industrial revolution. As both the special and not-so-special artefacts of this period are increasingly altered, adapted or demolished I have attempted to capture and record those within my reach and to share them here.
