I recently watched a documentary called ‘New Town Utopia’, which charts the story behind the post-war development of Basildon, Essex. I thoroughly enjoyed the film, so much so that it inspired me to take a day trip there this past summer. The town centre is certainly full of interesting architecture, especially the grade II listed Brooke House, a brutalist tower block raised up by V-shaped concrete pillars. 

Here a some of my shots from the day;

Thanks for viewing 🙂
