Richardson Road, Goldborough Court

Goldborough Court, used as student halls of residence, is a good example of modern landscaping and architecture. Built in the late twentieth century, it is uniquely designed as a long block of semi-hexagonal curves. It has rectangular single pane windows set out in columns, as well as occasional triangular windows on the corners. Designed by Kendrick and Lynn Associates in 1971. The flats were minimally decorated and utilitarian in appearance with unplastered painted internal brick walls. The open plan common area and kitchen led onto corridors, bedrooms, a lavatory and shower room. The accommodation blocks varied between 2-4 stories in height. LOCAL LIST
