Architectural Overview
Our principal areas boast a rich tapestry of architectural styles that reflect the historical and cultural evolution of the region. From Victorian terraces to modernist skyscrapers, each area offers a distinct feel and structural narrative.
Historic Buildings
The majority of our historic buildings were constructed in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, a period that favoured intricate brickwork and stone masonry. These buildings typically feature high ceilings, large windows, and detailed facades, showcasing the craftsmanship of the era.
Mid-Century Structures
Constructed predominantly from the 1940s to the 1970s, mid-century structures in our regions are examples of utilitarian design, often employing concrete and steel. These buildings were designed with functionality in mind, prioritizing large, open internal spaces and often incorporating elements of Brutalism.
Modern Developments
The latest architectural additions to our principal areas have embraced sustainable building practices. These modern structures often utilize green technologies, such as solar panels and green roofs, and are built using eco-friendly materials. Glass and steel continue to dominate the materials used, offering sleek, clean lines that contrast beautifully with the more ornate styles of previous eras.
