San Remo Towers, Boscombe
No social housing, this! Built 1935-8 as a high-class self-contained village. Despite its Italian name, touches seem Spanish: pantile roofs, round arched windows and glazed tile decoration. Viewed from Percy Road.

San Remo Towers - Boscombe (3)
This is the inner courtyard of San Remo Towers, a large block of 164 luxury flats, viewed from Michelgrove Road. Built in 1935-8 by American architect Hector O'Hamilton, it is in a flamboyant Spanish mission style, which must have raised a few eyebrows back then. Today it is universally admired as a piece of 1930s exotic fantasy, and one of the most impressive seaside developments in England of its period. Grade II listed.
