Members of The Street Society at their 10th AGMFollowing the business of the AGM, including electing our new committee, there were refreshments and a talk by Caroline Gould on George Skipper – Architect of Street.
It was Caroline’s talk on the “Buildings of Street” which launched the Society in 2001. She returned to tell us more of George Skipper (1856-1948) who was the architect for many of Street’s prominent buildings. She examined these buildings together with others in Somerset that form much of his early work and showed his subsequent transformation from Victorian to exuberant Edwardian architect in East Anglia.
