Book
Chamberlin, Powell and Bon
Chamberlin, Powell and Bon, the first book on the architects of the Golden Lane Estate and Barbican, written by Elain Harwood and published by RIBA Publications with English Heritage and the Twentieth Century Society, is to be published on 8 November.
Based on new archival research and interviews with the architects’ families and surviving partners and their assistants, Chamberlin, Powell and Bon gives incisive accounts of the development of these two key post-war estates. Together the estates illustrate the changing styles of post-war architecture in Britain and offer a model for modern urban living today. The book also describes in detail CP&B’s other major commissions, beginning with Joe Chamberlin’s work at the Festival of Britain and including New Hall, Cambridge (now Murray Edwards College) and their major extensions to Leeds University, which show their interest in technical innovation as well as planning on a grand yet liveable scale.
Chamberlin, Powell and Bon is beautifully illustrated with new photographs by James O. Davies and drawings from the architects’ newly revealed archive, most previously unpublished.
Elain Harwood is a historian with English Heritage and an authority on post-war architecture.

Event Description
For the third community cafe, we’ll be encouraging people to donate any things they no longer want, and perhaps take something for free from what other people have brought. The event will be structured so that 11:00-12:30 is for people to bring any reusable items they no longer need and 12:30-2:30 for people to take something they need home for free.
Essentially, anything reusable is welcome, including household items such as books, CDs, DVDs, electrical and electronic items (to be taken at users’ own risk), toys, sports gear, bric-a-brac, good quality clothes and small items of furniture. Unfortunately, we cannot accept broken items in need of repair, food, toiletries, sharp or dangerous items, and upholstery without a fire safety tag.
As the giving and taking is coinciding with a community cafe, do come along and have some coffee and cake, even if you’re perfectly happy with all the things you own!
