Commissioned by the 9th Earl De La Warr in 1935 and designed by architects Erich Mendelsohn and Serge Chermayeff, the De La Warr Pavilion was the UK‘s first public building built in the Modernist style.

Pioneering in structure as it was in spirit, the purpose of this steel and concrete Pavilion was to provide accessible culture and leisure for the people of Bexhill and beyond and so regenerate the economy of the town and the surrounding area.

I use to do a lot of Historical work with the HLF but people change and things move on but I was pleasantly supervised when I got a call to shoot a church for them, great little 1/2 day shooting there, the warren was a fine man with good tea making appeal and the Rev was just like the guy out of the TV series,  really nice and approachable.

While I was there a ran up a hill and shot this unusual view of the city, dominated by the Shard its going to be a big land mark, you just about see it from very where.

Its was my birthday on the 29th and as a freelancer I was working down in West Sussex, but on birthday eve me and the lovely Miss Ang went to the National Portrait gallery to see our good fried Tim Gosling portrait hanging in the BP portrait competition, it look fab just as Tim did in the panto Snow White and the Seven Interior Designers which was in the West End lats November, then a nice little lunch in the Portrait restaurant over looking Trafalgar Square and then off to the V&A for the architectural photography of Bedford Lemere & Co 1870-1930. I was also very touch by how many people said hello and happy birthday from friends and family to customers  and blog followers even the very nice client that I was working for brought me a preasnt and card, so thank you one and all for giving me a great day.
