1-15 Kingfisher Court

A block of flats, built around 1935 by Guy Morgan. The building is constructed of pink brick in a Flemish bond pattern, with an oversailing flat roof featuring boxed eaves, a boarded soffit, and brick chimneys. It occupies the south-west corner of a large quadrangle, completed by a larger, detached block of flats to the east. The principal elevation faces Bridge Road.

The building is three storeys high, with a further flat-roofed stage on the roof of the north-west wing, which is open-sided and contains a brick section housing a stairwell and water tank. It is designed in the Modern Movement style, incorporating metal windows, mainly containing two or three lights, with tile cills, concrete lintels, and horizontal glazing bays on the ground and first floors. The road-facing elevation has six bays; the entrance, located in bay four, features curved flanking pilasters supporting a curved-cornered canopy and a full-height stair-window with glazing bars above. Curved-cornered projecting bays are present in bays one and six, with full-width, curved-cornered windows. The rear elevations are simpler, with a similar entrance and stair window.

The flats internally feature wooden floors, panelled cupboards and doors, some with overlights, tile window cills, and some original fireplaces with polished stone surrounds and tiled hearths. The staircases have a dado rail and plain stair rails with wooden handrails. As part of a larger 1930s luxury-apartment development, this block, together with the adjacent block of flats (numbers 16-57), a swimming pool complete with pump-house, and a pond within a sunken garden, forms an impressive example of architecture in the Modern Movement style.
