Abstract:		 A programme of building recording has been carried out in advance of the proposed demolition of the redundant Alnmouth Boys' Club on the north side of Alnmouth, Northumberland. The building, designed by the architects Dyson and Hebeler, was constructed in 1937 and opened by the Duchess of Northumberland on 26th January 1938. The Boys' Club is not listed, but does fall within the boundary of the designated Alnmouth Conservation Area, whose recent character appraisal highlighted it as a 'key' building in Character Area 3, where it is one of several buildings 'which, by their distribution, larger scale and individuality, add interest and contribute to a loose-knit character'. The photographic recording was undertaken during August 2014 using colour digital photography. In addition, a measured plan of the buildings was annotated to show historic phasing and an attempt made to research the history of the building through historic maps and records available locally and remotely. It is concluded that this is an attractive building although rather retrospective for its date; but sadly has been allowed to deteriorate into poor condition. It is of interest as a purpose built boys' club of the 1930s by a known architect, the product of local philanthropy and thus surprisingly extensive and elaborate for its village setting. However, although within the boundary of the designated Alnmouth Conservation Area, and in the Northumberland Coast Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB), the design is not regarded as ground breaking and the building is not considered by the planning authorities to merit preservation.
