Walthamstow and Crawley
A couple of visits made in 2013 to two different places neither having much of architectural interest to offer.
Walthamstow, apart from the William Morris gallery (which I've
not yet returned to after it’s makeover), can only offer the Library as a
building worth looking at. Built 1907-9 in red brick by J W Dunford, in a style
typical of the period, interesting interiors with good stained glass on the
staircase, listed grade 11.
Crawley has a few old buildings with the church of St John
the Baptist being probably the best building in the town, C15 and C19 with
Horsham slab roofs, listed grade 11*. The town centre is a disappointment and lacks
the post war planning of somewhere like Coventry (which I quite like).
