Could there be a more moderne town?
Bexhill on Sea, blessed with the delightful De La Warr Pavillion.
Plus the Pallot and Collins murals inset into the wall of their local branch of Sainsbury’s.
The third such public sculpture I have had the pleasure to visit following trips to Newcastle and the now defunct BHS in my hometown of Stockport.
Henry William Collins and Joyce Millicent Pallot have a very special place in my heart, their lives’ work together gracing the Festival of Britain, GPO Tower and Expo 70, along with other retail outlets in Southampton, Gloucester, and Colchester. A distinctive style of bas relief in impressed concrete, ceramic terrazzo and simple modern motifs, drawn from local history and imagery.
Take a look around.
Great to see that the murals have been restored recently by Bexhill Heritage.
Modern Mooch 
The Pallot and Collins Mural on the wall of Sainsbury’s in Bexhill has just been painstakingly restored by a volunteer team from Bexhill Heritage, you can read all about it on their website. I hope you are able to get down here to see it in all its glory.
I found it very interesting to read about their other murals on your blog. Thank you.
