This is a recording of a talk called 'An Architect Abroad: Mr Street en vacances' by Neil Jackson which was recorded on 26th January 2022.
In memory of Geoff Brandwood, a former Chairman of the Victorian Society who died suddenly in November 2021, Professor Neil Jackson, Chair of the Events Committee, will present a talk on the architect G E Street, on whom Geoff, at the time of his death, was preparing a monograph.
The original lecture, "Splendour in the North", has unfortunately been cancelled due to Geoff's passing.
An Architect Abroad: Mr Street en vacances: This talk will follow G E Street's travels in France, Italy and Spain and, with the help of his sketches and his books and articles, show what he admired about foreign architecture and how he incorporated it into his own work.
