Former Art Deco/Modernist Offices, Fairfield Road, Warminster, Wiltshire
This Art Deco/Modernist administrative block belonged to Dents the glove makers until it was demolished in 2011. Established in Worcester in 1777, Dents moved to Warminster in the 1937 when it took over the former Jefferies Manufacturing Company premises. One commentator recalls the new building being erected in the early fifties. This was quite possible, as it was common to find pre-war designs built after the war ended (Dorchester Council Offices being an example). In 2011 Dents moved to larger premises on the outskirts of the town, off the Bath Road. The site was sold to Waitrose who demolished the whole site including the building. As at late 2011 the new supermarket is under construction. Despite Art Deco/Modernist buildings being few in number in Wiltshire, the council were not minded to protect it.
