EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of Crowsteps, a remarkable Modern Movement house located in Tydehams, Newbury, West Berkshire. Taken in 1929 by renowned architectural photographer Henry Bedford Lemere, this image showcases the south-facing view of the building's distinctive crowstep gables. Designed by the esteemed architectural practice Burnet, Tait & Lorne, Crowsteps stands as an early example of the Modern Movement style. Its clean lines and geometric forms reflect the innovative approach to design that emerged during this period. The photograph was commissioned by Sir John Burnet himself, one of the partners at Burnet, Tait & Lorne. Lemere's expert composition beautifully captures both the grandeur and simplicity of Crowsteps. The play between light and shadow adds depth to its facade while highlighting its unique features. This archival photograph serves as a testament to Lemere's skill in capturing architectural beauty with his lens. As an important piece from Historic England's archive collection, this print not only preserves a significant moment in architectural history but also offers us a glimpse into how modernity began shaping British architecture during that era. It is a visual reminder of our rich heritage and serves as inspiration for future generations interested in exploring innovative design concepts within historical contexts.
