Abstract: |
In November 2010 MADE Environment undertook an archaeological building survey of Atlanta House, Midland Road, Higham Ferrers (NGR: SP 9622 6867) prior to partial demolition and redevelopment of the site. The survey revealed that the strucrture comprised a contemporary office range and attached north light factory shed. Both structures were constructed in 1936, the offices being the new head office for John White a boot and shoe manufacturer from neighbouring Rushden. Although modernised in part, the offices retain some original features and fittings of the period. The north light factory range is structurally interesting because as a late example of the form it dispenses with internal columns using instead deep valley beams to provide support, creating an unimpeded floor space. |
