WEMBLEY POST OFFICE
397A High Road
Architect: Albert Myers Year: c. 1920? Archive sources British Postal Museum and Archive: POST 30/3211 National Archives: WORK 13/758 Selected bibliographical references Architect & Building News 8 Jun 1928, p. 844 History Closed Current use: Public house Building description From: The Architect and Building News 8 June 1928, p. 844 This Post Office building exemplifies the modern effort to endow such types of official architecture with a certain vigour in design, which has certainly not always found expression in the numerous Post Offices erected in England in the last twenty five years. The broad stone architraves around the ground and first floor openings give to these features a great prominence, and, in fact, one feels that the attic windows, highly necessary to complete the pattern of the fenestration, are left out in the cold and fail to establish an intimate relationship between themselves and the larger apertures below. |
