January's Talk
" A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man", is very much NOT Pevsner on the Medieval Architecture of Wiltshire and Dorset!
It is an extremely light-hearted, dare I say, scandalous, reflection on the life and experiences of a very young trainee architect in the late 1970s, when "Sir" was spelt "cur". The foreman was older than my grandad. Senior partners really did spend all day on the golf course and the most junior member of the team was expected to clean their car, their drawing pens and even their shoes. Join me as we take a VERY non-serious look at life in the construction industry in the years before computers, email and mobile 'phones."
