Despite the grey and drizzly weather on the North Wales coast, our @c20cymru SC Folkes day was brightened by a wonderfully eclectic mix of buildings & architectural styles. Diolch yn fawr to Adam Voelcker, Conwy Archives, and all who braved the rain with us. 📸 @christianlindsay @susiefielding123

Sad news that the Big Apple, Mumbles has been damaged by a car. A rare survival of a 1930s Cidatone kiosk of reinforced concrete, converted to an ice-cream kiosk. It's not the first time - the 2019 listing specified it was Ford Fiesta last time 😉 Hopefully support will be available to fully restore!

Even if all the negative consequences of this homeowner’s choice to obliterate their front garden - such as increased risk of flooding and overheating - were solely borne by them (they aren’t), this would still be an aesthetic tragedy. The car has has turned us into a heartless and artless people.
