The Buildings of Edgar Wood in Middleton Town Centre

This guidebook follows Edgar Wood’s architectural and stylistic journey by dividing his work into four phases:

  • Arts & Crafts Romantic 1893-1899
  • Art Nouveau Expressionist 1899-1905
  • Pioneer Modernist 1905-1914

Middleton, uniquely, has examples from each phase. So, this guide can show how Victorian domestic design evolved into the Twentieth Century Modern Movement – all through the works of Edgar Wood in Middleton town centre.
