Just a quickie today…
Natwest Bank, Gillette Corner, Brentford – architect tbc (possibly Sir Banister Fletcher ?) – date tbc (possibly 1936?) – I’ll keep you posted once I’ve done some rrrresearch.
**Update: For now have a read of the 2nd comment below…**
This is actually called Nat West’s ‘Osterley branch’ of the bank.
This building is listed in a book i own “recent english architecture 1920-1940″, published by country life. In it they list the architect as W F C Holden. It was built by the National Provincial Bank. Holden was by all accounts their chief architect having done several other commisoins for them. I don’t think he is related to charles Holden of the underground stations. The name is probably just a coincedence. Hope this is of some interest to you.
By the way, you should try and get a copy of that book. I reckon it would be right up your street!!
Barney – Thank you so much that’s great info! I’ll certainly try and get my paws on that book.
