St Nicholas, Radford, Coventry flyover

MSt IDP site video demonstrating the current site of St Nicholas church in Coventry, designed by Richard Twentyman of Twentyman, Lavender and Percy and built between 1954-1955. At time of taking these shots, the site is earmarked to be redeveloped into a care home with planning approval due within the next few months.
Taken from 'The Church Architecture of Richard Twentyman' by Chris Kennedy and Aidan Ridyard:
'The population of Radford increased in the early part of the twentieth century from 5,000 to 20,000 in 1927 with expanding industries and houses provided to meet the demand. Like All Saints, Darlaston, the original chuch was destroyed by bombing in 1940, but parishioner, diocesan, and War Damage funds helped towards a new church...
At the time of writing [2023], the church is unfortunately closed, and problems with concrete and asbestos degradation are likely to lead to its eventual demolition, despite local campaigns for its preservation. It is not entirely surprising that people were 'mystified by the external appearance of the church', since the inward leaning walls, 10 degrees from the vertical, which internally added to an impression of exaggerated height, give it, with the curved roof, the appearance of a hangar.
Externally, with its high sides and rounded roof, it bears a resemblance to Peter Behrens' 1909 AEG turbine factory in Berlin. The Architects' Journal regarded the sloping walls as 'aesthetically unsatisfactory', though praised the east wall behind the altar, veneered in walnut with diamond-shaped panels and light provided by the several side windows. The yellow brick-faced walls and copper-covered roof are of reinforced concrete, designed with remarkable refinement, the main roof vault being only 4" thick at the centre. The elegant tower, similar in design to All Saints, Darlaston, is solid brick with two bells and a sculptured relief of St Nicholas by Don Potter. It introduces a slight entasis, and creates a powerful image when viewed from the lower main road to the east, seen in a contemporary photograph published in the Spanish journal Informes de la Construccion in 1957. The exterior east end is stone-faced with diamond patterns matching the interior wall and a large cross.
The ceiling is of African walnut boards, and floors are of stone and green slate. Further locally-archived photographs reveal a wide rectangular nave with internal solid buttresses and no aisles, providing an uninterrupted view of the altar, and chancel and sanctuary are more integrated with the nave than in earlier Twentyman churches. Entrance to the church brings worshippers into the chancel east end of the church, rather than the more usual west end.'
