Silver End, Essex Giclée Art Print

Original illustration of the village of Silver End, between Witham and Braintree, Essex. Silver End was created in the 1920s as a 'model village' - the brainchild of local industrial magnate Francis Crittall, owner of Crittall Windows Ltd. Crittall envisioned a pleasant village where everyone had comfortable homes, modern utilities, and plenty of light and space; in short, the opposite of the crowded slums that were all-too-common in Britain at the time.

To bring his vision to fruition, Crittall sought out celebrated architects of the modernist school, including John Burnet and T.S. Tait. This was a true development of a community, and the buildings created included a department store, cinema, library, and health clinic alongside the factory and houses. Several of the houses are now Grade II listed buildings, including the one depicted in this illustration, 'Wolverton.'
