EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print takes us back to the vibrant era of the 1960s, showcasing the remarkable changes that transformed No. 7 Bexfield Close, Allesey - a home belonging to Mr Hall. The image captures not only an architectural transformation but also a glimpse into the aspirations and dreams of homeowners during this period. The winning design in the Small House Competition is proudly displayed within this frame, representing innovation and creativity in housing architecture. The photograph showcases two significant alterations made to this charming village home on January 23rd, 1967. Firstly, we witness the conversion of a carport into a functional garage space – a practical addition that reflects changing needs as automobiles became more commonplace. Secondly, we observe how the patio has been filled in to extend the dining room area – an expansion that enhances both comfort and entertainment possibilities for its residents. The Royal Institute for British Architects (RIBA) recognized this exceptional design as it captured ideal homes magazine readers' imagination across Britain. This snapshot encapsulates not just physical changes but also represents an exciting chapter in architectural history. As we gaze upon this memory from Coventry Telegraph Archive's collection, let us appreciate how our built environment continuously evolves with time while reflecting our desires for modernity and functionality within our homes.
