Preface

In recent years, John Madin’s work as an architect and planner has been topical. This book has been produced to make available information held within the Madin Archive, to those who may have an interest in his work. The book is not for sale. An e-book version can be downloaded at www.john-madin.info, which will be regularly updated. Please view the e-book in pairs of facing pages with even numbers on the left as the book would be read.

To help put John Madin’s work in context four brief initial

chapters are included; Chapter 1 “introduction” (p9-12); Chapter 2 “Early years and influences” (p13-18); Chapter 3 “Birmingham in 1950” (p19-22) and Chapter 4 “Philosophy” (p23-26), these refer to the extensive family records, John Madin’s Birmingham School of Architecture portfolio and the press cutting collection. Chapter 5 “illustrated list of works” (p27-114) provides a chronological illustrated record of his principal works, including references to periodical and newspaper articles relevant to the particular project. Chapter 6 “commissions by type” (p115-130) collates John Madin’s principal works in an easily referable form and has a reference to the page number in Chapter 5, where the project has been illustrated.

The Madin Archive has the commission records since John

Madin set up in practice in 1950. This has enabled placing projects in chronological order based on commissioning date. In chapter 5 “illustrated list of works” design records such as drawings, perspectives and model photographs are included, together with photographs of the completed project, and where available current ones representative of the original design.

The e-book is intended to be an evolving document and contributions of information, which will add to this record would be appreciated; in particular additional/better photographs of the buildings illustrated would be welcome, as well as of those projects that have not been included at present. There is limited information in the Madin Archive in respect of private houses designed in the 1950’s and 1960’s, help to address this would be appreciated; as would photographs of buildings where alterations have occurred and a current photograph would not be representative of the building as designed; this applies in particular to the interiors.

Due to the extensive nature of the information available and the considerable number of projects undertaken; there has been subjective selection given to the projects included and the information used to represent a particular project. However, this is not a book providing analysis; its purpose is to supply information, which would not be otherwise readily available. In chapters 1 to 4, there is reference to John Madin’s personal views or recollections; where these can be they are supported by reference to a published document or record held in the archive; where not and it is a personal recollection of John Madin or another person it is so stated.

As a postscript I am very grateful to those who facilitated the

taking of the photographs in the last year for inclusion in the book, which has given a greater currency to the record.

Enjoy your browsing. Christopher Madin February 2011

CHAPTER 1 Introduction

Introduction

In December 1940, John Madin as a sixteen year old wrote the following:-

I hope to see in the near future a greater and a more beautiful

Birmingham, and I also wish that I shall be one of those lucky men who will, with care and sympathy, be able to graft our City into the finest in the World. If this war has ever done anything for the British people, it has given the enlightened ones of the generation the chance to create a better and healthier place to live in. The German bombs have stricken down so many of our towns’ buildings that it will be a simple matter to widen our thorough fares and build new offices and shops.

I foresee that the shopping centre of Birmingham will move to the now

beaten and battered Bradford Street. If the centre of the City is left untouched, New Street and Corporation Street will very likely take a back seat and make way for the shoppers in the South of the City. Bradford Street could be made into a kind of Shopping Village. The roadway being more than twice as wide as at present day, with shops and refreshment stores, so faced to be most convenient to the customers.1

A decade later John Madin commenced in practice as an

Architect (December 1950), with a clear vision as illustrated by the personalised Christmas Card (1951) for which he prepared two sketches one depicting Birmingham as he saw it then and another as it should be CH1 Fig 02).2

In the subsequent 25 years, John Madin was able to be one of

those lucky men he was referring to as a sixteen year old. This book provides an illustrated record of the result of that vision, which went well beyond the bounds of his home town. 1 John Madin Archive – “The Future of Birmingham” by John Madin 17 December 1940 2 John Madin Archive – Christmas Card 1951

CH1 Fig 02 - John Madin Christmas Card of 1951 - as it was and should be Chapter 2 - “Early Years and Influences” and Chapter 3 - “Birmingham in 1950”, provides the context in which John Madin commenced in practice. Chapter 4 - “Philosophy” - provides information on John Madin’s views on planning as well as his architectural philosophy, primarily by reference to published articles written by him or quotations from interviews.

Page 11: John Madin: Architect & Planner - An Illustrated Record

John Madin’s commitment to and advocacy of architectural functionalism and comprehensive planning was developing in the 1940’s, particularly at the Birmingham School of Architecture on his return from War Service in 1947 (refer pages 16-17).

John Madin however, recalls it was his visit to Sweden, particularly Stockholm in 1949 that was his inspiration. Sweden neutral during the war, so free from the devastation much of the rest of Europe had suffered, continued building in the 1940’s. Functionalism had become the dominant architectural style in Sweden, since Stockholm’s 1930 exhibition1. The city was also at the forefront of Town Planning2. Stockholm showed what was achievable.

John Madin’s conviction for seeing a new modern Birmingham planned comprehensively inspired his clients and was a key ingredient to his success. He was a strong advocate of there being a three-dimensional Master Plan for Birmingham City Centre from the early 1950’s. John Madin recalls endeavouring to convince Herbert Manzoni of this, on more than one occasion, to no avail3. He felt that Birmingham had a unique opportunity to have a master plan realised, with the freehold ownership being in few hands and the extent of the redevelopment taking place. Chapter 5 – “Illustrated List of Works” represents a substantial proportion of the book and is its main purpose. It provides an illustrated record of John Madin’s principal projects; including architectural drawings, perspective views, model photographs; as well as photographs of the completed buildings, including current ones where they are representative of the original design. 1 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stockholm_Exhibition_(1930) 2 Alyse Nelson – City of Water, Stockholm - Sweden 3 History of Birmingham 1939-1970 Sutcliffe & Smith page 442-3

The projects in chapter 5 are listed chronologically following the commissioning date, this allows the reader to view buildings designed at a similar time. This is illustrated for example by the BBC Pebble Mill. The commission for these studios and ancillary offices was in 1961, and was largely designed by the end of 1962, as is illustrated by the model photograph of that year, yet it was not completed until 1971. Projects commissioned in the same year and of the same use type are where possible collated together. Also in some circumstances where appropriate, projects commissioned on the same site and/or for the same client are combined together under one heading, placing them chronologically under the earliest commissioning date. Where this occurs it is so stated.

Chapter 5 is likely to be updated on a regular basis when better photographs or artwork becomes available for inclusion or material on a project presently not illustrated is added.

Chapter 6 - “Commissions by type” has been produced as a form of index. There is reference to the page where the project is illustrated in Chapter 5.

Chapter 6, also helps to illustrate the breadth of the work that John Madin has undertaken. It is frequently thought he is primarily a commercial architect. John Madin was commissioned for a significant number of speculative developments (particularly in realising the Master Plan he produced for the Calthorpe Estate); however, when these projects are put in context with his planning work, such as for the Telford Corporation; buildings designed for a client’s own use; orcivic, public, educational and community purposes, the speculative element of his work though significant was a small part of a broad based workload.

Early life and influences

William John Hardcastle Dalton Madin was born on 23rd March 1924 in Birmingham; the family home from the 1920’s was in Yardley Wood Road, Moseley. The family also had a farm near Warwick, in the late 1930’s and early 1940’s.

John Madin’s father, William (Henry) Madin (1888-1962) was brought up in Chesterfield, initially a missionary; a building contractor from 1909, served as an infantry officer in France in World War One; from 1918 with the newly formed RAF as a pilot.1 William Madin married Hilda Dalton (1898-1967) on 10th April 1919. The Dalton family home was in College Road, Moseley. John Madin recalls his grandfather Walter Dalton (1861-1946) owning a clock making business “Dalton Clocks” and property in Coventry; and that he devoted the latter part of his long life to voluntary and public service; in particular as Birmingham City Councillor for Sparkhill from 1924 to 1944, Alderman 1944-45 retiring at the age of 84.2

After World War One, John Madin remembers that his father worked as a building contractor and a cabinet maker, William Madin built a house for the family in Yardley Wood Road, Moseley in the 1920’s, The family moved next door in c1935 to “Alpha House” 158 Yardley Wood Road, which was from where in 1950, John Madin commenced in practice as an Architect.

John Madin recalls, in addition to his father’s building contracting, he managed Trade Fairs including the British Industries Fair in Castle Bromwich, for the Chamber of Commerce.

During World War Two, William Madin following inventing and patenting a blackout system for factories and warehousing; managed the installation, inspection and maintenance of these systems. He was also a Director of the Birmingham Citizens Permanent Building Society,1 (latterly its Chairman).2 The Building Society was to appoint John Madin to undertake two of his earliest commissions.3

John Madin left School at sixteen in July 1940.4 Initially he worked for his father’s business.5 This was just at the onset of the Battle of Britain and the Birmingham Blitz.

John Madin recalls his grandfather Walter Dalton (Birmingham City Councillor for Sparkhill at the time) arranged for him to work for Sir Herbert Manzoni, the Birmingham’s City Engineer & Surveyor (1935-63) as his office boy. John Madin remembers while working for Sir Herbert Manzoni spending nights in the Clock Tower of the Council Offices marking on a plan the locations of where incendiary bombs had landed, for the emergency services.

Sir Herbert Manzoni was impressed with John Madin’s portfolio of drawings he had requested to see and immediately telephoned George Drysdale FRIBA, the head of the Birmingham School of Architecture and recommended that he consider John Madin.

John Madin further recalls being interviewed by George Drysdale and offered a place. He started his architectural training the following autumn, the 1941/2 academic year; during the summer of 1941, John Madin worked for the Architect Harry Weedon FRIBA.6

In his spare time and during Birmingham School of Architecture vacations, John Madin worked on the family farm and for his father’s business.7

In July 1942, John Madin applied to be a Pioneer Student of the Royal Engineers8 on the recommendation of the Royal institute of British Architects.9 John Madin recalls spontaneously volunteering for the Royal Air Force, with friends from the School of Architecture (July 1943); and when he was advised during training, he could not be a pilot due to poor night vision, he left the Royal Air Force and enrolled in the Royal Engineers.

John Madin was selected for Royal Engineers Officer Cadet Training,10 passing out Dec 1944. John Madin was on active service in India (Feb 1945 to Nov 1945) made Lieutenant June 1945; Iraq (Nov 1945 to Oct 1946), and Egypt (Oct 1946 to Jul 1947 made Captain Oct 1946; made Staff Captain (Design) Jan 1947.11

John Madin recalls in Egypt managing the construction of housing for married service families in the form of villages on the shores of the Bitter Lakes/Suez Canal; also in his staff capacity organising social events for the Allied Forces in Egypt. 1 This provided an insight into the social elite of the day, and helped him develop the social skills that would be invaluable to him in his architectural practice.

John Madin returned to the Birmingham School of Architecture to complete his architectural education in 1947, which he did in 1950. John Madin was elected an Associate of the Royal Institute of British Architects on 12th December 1950.2 He commenced in practice that month as John HD Madin Chartered Architect.

The Functionalist approach to design that can be seen in his commissioned work is evident in his School of Architecture Portfolio;3 a fourth year project for a sculptor’s studio4, has a similar design to the House he designed for DW Jenkinson (1954-57); refer page 30.

Another project that year, involved the redevelopment of Edgbaston Park on the Calthorpe Estate; similarities can be seen to his later proposals for the Estate.5

Birmingham in 1950

Birmingham was heavily bombed by the German Luftwaffe during the Blitz (1940-1943). By the war's end 2,241 citizens had been killed by the bombing and over 3,000 seriously injured. 12,932 buildings were destroyed (including 300 factories) and thousands more damaged. The air raids also destroyed many of Birmingham's fine buildings.1

CH 3 Fig 02 - Birmingham Inner Ring Road Compulsory Purchase Plan 1946

Sir Herbert Manzoni the City Engineer and Surveyor, in the World War Two years, prepared for the Post War Redevelopment of Birmingham, utilising the Housing Act of 1936, the Town and Country Planning Act 1944 and associated compulsory purchase powers. Sir Herbert Manzoni started planning the inner ring road in 1943. Birmingham Corporation Deposited a bill in 1946, which was passed

1 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Birmingham_Blitz

that year.2 The Birmingham City Corporation declared five redevelopment areas in 1946, immediately around the City Centre to address the slum conditions: Duddeston and Nechells (Nechells Green); Summer Lane (Newtown); Ladywood; Bath Row (Lee Bank); Gooch Street (Highgate).3

As is illustrated above, the extensive nature of the slum clearance; road improvements; and the damage caused by the Luftwaffe, meant that in the 1970’s the post-war redevelopment of Birmingham was still taking place.

Birmingham in 1950, John Madin recalls (as he illustrated in his Christmas Card of 1951 CH1 Fig02) suffered from severe traffic congestion and smog; the remaining Victorian Buildings were black with layers of soot deposits, diminishing their quality. Birmingham had been generally very intensively developed with little open space, the blackness of the exteriors of the buildings would have had limited reflective sunlight entering the interiors; John Madin also recalls buildings having small windows, making interiors all the more dark and dingy. This was the environment to which John Madin was responding with his architecture.

In 1950 the City Centre of Birmingham had four principal freehold landowners. One of these the City Corporation, had substantially increased its ownership with their compulsory purchasing to accommodate the road improvements and slum clearance; unlike the other large cities, which had multiple freehold ownership, Birmingham had a unique opportunity to comprehensively plan the redevelopment of the City Centre within the proposed inner ring road.

Just outside Birmingham's City Centre in Edgbaston the Gough-Calthorpe Family owned the 1625 acre Calthorpe Estate. The Calthorpe Estate has been in the ownership of the Gough-Calthorpe Family since 1717; Sir Henry Gough in the 18th Century, refused to allow industry to develop beside the Worcester Canal within the Estate. Subsequent heirs protected the character of the Estate with restrictive leaseholds which prevent the use of buildings or land for industrial or commercial

purposes. In 1810 George, 3rd Baron Calthorpe, decided to develop Edgbaston as a residential area. Many elegant homes were built during the late Georgian period, particularly in Frederick Road and George Road. 1

By the middle of the 19th Century, the Estate was being more extensively developed. The Calthorpe Estate retained the freehold ownership. The land released was developed with large houses set in landscaped grounds some of several acres in size. These landscaped grounds matured to provide a green oasis with many fine trees, markedly contrasting with the intensive development of much of Birmingham. The Estate remained largely residential, though by 1950, there were some businesses occupying large Georgian and Victorian houses on Hagley Road, Calthorpe Road and neighbouring streets.

A significant proportion of the 99 year leases on the Estate were coming towards the end of their term in the 1950’s. The Calthorpe Estate had been consulted over the City Development Plan that was Published in 1952 and had agreed lower density requirements, compared with the rest of the City; nonetheless, it required that new residential development be at 30 persons to the acre (9 dwellings to the acre equivalent) this was six times the density of 1.5 dwellings to the acre that existed in 1950 across the Calthorpe Estate. There were also many established or non-conforming uses that did not agree with the use designation shown on the City Plan. These issues created difficulty for the Estate and its leaseholders, in particular the implications on the Estate’s mature landscaping.2

Philosophy

John Madin’s visit to Stockholm in 1949, as has been referred to in the introduction was the inspiration that helped to crystallise his vision for Birmingham.

John Madin returned to Stockholm in 1961 and 1962; the archive contains about 200 slides from these visits, particularly of the New Town of Vällingby. On those visits he was able to review the progress on the 20 year comprehensive plan published in 1952 (which was being worked on when he visited Sweden in 1949).1 John Madin continued to travel extensively to study architecture, in particular the USA. He also studied specialist use types, urban development and Town Planning. One of these visits to the USA & Canada was in April-May 1964.2 He wrote two articles in 1965, “America’s Lessons for our Planners” & America 1965 – Britain 1980?3

The work of Alva Aalto4 and Frank Lloyd Wright, 5 in particular

their consideration for a building's relationship to its natural surroundings, the expression of the materials used, and careful detailing influenced John Madin, as did the work of Walter Gropius.6

Below is an article from the Birmingham Post 16 June 1961

called “An Architect of New Birmingham” where John Madin describes his philosophy towards planning and architectural design.

On Planning

“I am concerned that the development and redevelopment of our cities and towns is taking place too quickly - individual buildings are being erected before proper consideration has been given to the planning of the area as a whole. No new building should be erected until it can be shown that it fits in with the rest of the area, as far as its massing in relation to other buildings and open space is concerned; and its relation to parking and new road system. Otherwise we shall find, as is happening in many of our cities and towns at the present time that redevelopment is nothing more that the replacing of old buildings or small groups of buildings, with new and bigger buildings on the same site, making our cities even more congested that they are at the present time.”

“A three dimensional master-plan for the whole of the centres of our

cities should be prepared. It is possible and practicable to prepare such a plan, and indeed if this not done our cities will strangle themselves within the next generation or so. Planning such as this is positive planning, which will help owners, developers and architects work together in creating a satisfactory whole.”

“Architects and planners must work together to create a fine new

environment which people can work and play. In modern towns and cities developed on a large scale, no one wants piecemeal conversions of Victorian towns, which were developed to cater for a relatively small population and the hansom cab.”

C

Page 25: John Madin: Architect & Planner - An Illustrated Record

On Architectural Design ......“I believe every building must be an honest expression of its

functional requirements. A well designed, simply designed building, is also an economic building. An owner, by employing a good modern architect, will not only get a good-looking building, but he will get one at the most economic price.”

“The thing I dislike most is ostentation in buildings as well as people.

People put on airs and graces – so do some buildings. Simplicity and sincerity are the basis of the best things in life. The simple Georgian house (free of unnecessary applied decoration) is an example of what I mean.”

“As time has gone by, honesty in building has become more and more

accepted by the layman. There has been a tremendous revolution in architecture and industrial design in the last ten years. The mock Georgian and the Mock Tudor have been cast aside for a more honest expression which satisfies the requirements of today.”

“I believe an architect should not stop at the actual design of the

building, but should take the building right through all its stages, right to the design of the furniture, the door fittings and the carpets. One of my greatest pleasures is, after having conceived a master plan for a new building to end up designing the carpets.”

……“Thus ultimately one obtains a building which has a constant

character throughout the whole of its design.”

An article in the Sunday Mercury 15th July 1962, following a conference at the RIBA on planning John Madin is quoted as saying the following:-

“It is my philosophy to become completely involved with the function of a building before I will put pen to paper. I have followed the making of the B’ham Post and B’ham Mail from beginning to end, from editorial offices, through the print and machine shop and out on to the street.”

“Local Authorities should lay down a master plan for urban areas which

are due for redevelopment and in that way exercise a more positive control over what is built.”

An article in the Birmingham Mail 9th April 1964, “Call for big

plan to avoid strangulation” John Madin was calling for a Regional plan for the redevelopment of the West Midlands he was quoted as follows:-

”the plan must provide a carefully worked out communications system between the new towns, the expanded towns and the existing urban areas. The reconstruction of our urban areas the expansion of our existing towns and the development of our New Towns, must be conceived within a regional plan for the main conurbations. It is ridiculous to say it is impractical to prepare and implement a comprehensive plan for the midland conurbation, or for the centres of our cities. If strangulation or at least serious retardment is to be avoided, it is absolutely essential”

In respect of the new towns that had been built and what

should be done in the future, John Madin was quoted as saying:- “Those New Towns had not created the spirit of the “street community.

What is needed are smaller groups of population with a corner shop, village hall, a pub and social centre. These communities would need to be villages with in a town, connected with open spaces and other amenities, but having a feeling of identity and compactness of their own. The aim should be to achieve complete segregation between vehicular and pedestrian traffic, except possibly for very minor roads. Pedestrian walkways and squares should be so planned that children may run to the primary school ……and the whole family may walk to the local centre.”
