EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photograph from the early 1930s, two striking examples of modern architecture stand out against their respective coastal backdrops. On the left, the elegant Royal Corinthian Yacht Club at Burnham-on-Crouch in Essex, England, exudes a sense of sophistication and leisure. The clubhouse, designed in the modernist style, boasts a sleek, concrete facade that seamlessly blends with the natural beauty of its surroundings. With its large windows and open terrace, the building invites members to enjoy the picturesque views of the River Crouch and the surrounding marina. Contrasting the tranquility of the yacht club, on the right, the underground car park at Hastings in Sussex, England, represents the functional and innovative spirit of the era. Capable of holding up to 1000 cars, this subterranean parking facility was a testament to the engineering prowess of the time. Its imposing concrete structure, with its clean lines and minimalist design, showcases the forward-thinking approach to urban planning and infrastructure development during the 1930s. The photograph, taken circa 1932, showcases the diverse range of architectural styles and innovations that emerged during the twentieth century. The Royal Corinthian Yacht Club and the Hastings underground car park serve as reminders of the enduring appeal of modernist design and the ingenuity of the construction industry during this period. This evocative image, captured by an unknown photographer for the Illustrated London News (ILN) - Consolidated Archive Holdings Ltd, offers a glimpse into the past and invites us to appreciate the architectural and historical significance of these two remarkable buildings.
