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with new photographs by James O. Davies and drawings from the architects’ newly revealed archive, most previously unpublished.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.
Cost £20

Nick R. replied to Maria Elizabeth Prior's discussion Invoices, and Reminder Letters for Shed Payments"I think that what this thread shows is that the system isn't working at all well: those who have sheds aren't happy and neither are those who don't.

Yes, I agree. Cycle security has been an issue on the estate for a few years and estate staff are aware of the problem. They have investigated purchase of cycle lockers, conversion of basement areas into bike stores (e.g.…"

Nick R. posted a discussionHeads up – attempted bicycle theft under Stanley Cohen on Sunday afternoon
Hi all, This afternoon someone cut the cable of my wife's bike which is locked up under Stanley Cohen house. The 'D' lock held but one wheel and the frame are bent - it's completely inoperable. This happened around 4pm on Sunday afternoon (12/6). There's not a lot one can do to prevent someone who really wants to nick a bike, but we're surprised considering the time and the busy location right next to the main entrance off Golden Lane. Please keep your eyes out for any suspicious activity to…See More

Hi
This appears to be an ongoing problem. There is rumoured to be new bike racks arriving. You might want to discuss this with the Estate Office. It would also be sensible to discuss with Common Councillor Gareth Moore who is the councillor for this ward and lives on this estate.
