Architect: Briant A. Poulter

0024

“This club is a timber-framed building filled in with cement concrete. Sufficient oak has been felled for the whole of the structural timber and joinery in the interior. Some old bricks and stone have been obtained for the chimneys and plinth. The club-room is provided with a stage and cinema, but usually it will be divided by folding screens into a billiard-room, gymnasium, and readingroom. Cottages are provided on the entrance front for the caretaker and village nurse. A kitchen for preparing refreshments and baths for the villagers is a feature. This drawing by Mr. Briant A. Poulter, F.R.I.B.A., is now in the Royal Academy.”
