Baldock: the former Kayser Bondor factory
Now fronting a supermarket, this huge Art Deco building was once the facade of the Kayser Bondor hosiery factory. It dates from 1924, its Egyptian frieze inspired by Howard Carter's discoveries.

Tesco Extra, Baldock
Definitely Extra. I can't think of any other building in this country which puts me so much in mind of Mussolini. This central portico of five bays would make a good façade for the railway terminus in a dictator's capital. But the full width of the building is more like 35 bays (sorry, I lost count). The style I think you'd have to describe as Art Deco-Classical, with Egyptian flourishes. For many years - before being acquired by Tesco - it was a hosiery factory.
