On 8th August 2014 in a post on my BRH Associates WordPress site, in the context of hotel design in Cambridge, I said: “The 1965-66 rebuilding of the Regent Street front of the University Arms Hotel by Feilden and Mawson did little for this main gateway to the City Centre. Happily, there are now plans to redress this visual slight.”
The best Pevsner (1970) could say of the extension was that it was not up to the standard set in Winchester by the same architects; and Booth and Taylor (1972) diplomatically called it ‘unexceptional’. The remedy is now in hand: demolition has started.
