Parkleys
is Grade II listed by English Heritage for its architectural interest
as the first major ‘Span’ development by architect Eric Lyons
(1902-1980) (President of the Royal Institute of British Architects
(riba) 1975-1977). He worked under Walter Gropius (founder of the
Bauhaus) and became noted for forward looking developments with
signature attention to landscape and community development, and a
combination of modernism with more traditional elements like tile
hanging and stock brick. Beginning with Parkleys in 1955-6, his practice
collected many awards and even as recently as 2005, Span received a
special Housing Design Award given to schemes that meet the current
Sustainable Communities Plan.
