In a recent talk Robin Marris argued that there were no inherent reasons why any future Labour government need feel inhibited by such factors as the flight of capital or labour. Mr. Wincott disagrees.
Part 2
by J. H. V. Davies
The growth of interest in Victorian architecture over recent years has now culminated in the setting up of a society devoted to its preservation. Yet, the speaker argues, we have still to find rational criteria for assessing the true quality of Victorian buildings. Nothing is gained by ' plunging head first into Victorian architecture uttering delighted cries when we strike anything particularly knobbly '; nor is it helpful to apply to Victorian work criteria derived from the study of modern architecture.
