The Richard Dunn Sports Centre, although closed, is now a listed building. Fifty years ago, it was on the drawing board. I've been looking for old sketches and cuttings. This is from the front page of the Telegraph and Argus on the 26th April 1974. It shows the original roof shape before the later re-design, and before the Centre was named after the boxer Richard Dunn.
The completed Richard Dunn Sports Centre, behind the Sunny Bank Road allotments and the Muff Field Cricket Club. This drawing, made in 1978 for Bradford City Council publicity purposes, shows the revised roof design.

Since living in Saltaire, in Bradford in the 1970s, Trevor has been fascinated by terraced housing, and its potential for the future. This birds-eye view shows new terraced housing built on a former bomb-site in Hindpool, in Barrow-in-Furness in 1984, replicating the older surrounding terraces, but with modern facilities, 'Parker-Morris' space standards and small non-overlooked private gardens [all upper-floor bedrooms overlook the front streets].
