So pleased to have a successful outcome for Wrexham Waterworld, especially as this was the second attempt for designation! 🏊
NEWS: C20 and @c20cymru.bsky.social are celebrating the 5th Leisure Centre to be listed as a result of our ongoing campaign, and the first example in Wales.
Wrexham Waterworld (1967-70) is known for its hyperbolic paraboloid roof, one of the largest ever built.

Sad news that the Big Apple, Mumbles has been damaged by a car. A rare survival of a 1930s Cidatone kiosk of reinforced concrete, converted to an ice-cream kiosk. It's not the first time - the 2019 listing specified it was Ford Fiesta last time 😉 Hopefully support will be available to fully restore!

Hard to believe that this Milwaukee home was built over a century ago! It’s one of the “American System-Built Homes”, designed by Frank Lloyd Wright in 1915, as affordable kit-built housing for those “of moderate income”. Sadly, stymied by WW1
