Accepted wisdom is that architecture in Derby went into a terminal decline following the departure of CH Aslin who was Borough Architect in the 1930s. The Society respects
Aslin’s very human neoclassicism, but respectfully suggests that some very decent buildings have been erected since – even if they have largely been demolished as part of the drive to obliterate traces of the years of social democracy following World War 2!
This project presents a mixture of conventional and sideways glances at the buildings of Derby, including some of the alleged hideous monstrosities.
