Plymouth N.A.A.F.I.

The Plymouth ‘Naafi’ (Navy, Army and Air Force Institutes) on Notte Street was opened in July 1952 by HRH the Princess Margaret. The building cost £400,000.

The mid-century modernist building, which borrows some of the strong lines of the earlier Art Deco period (yet without the ornate adornments), was designed by Messrs Joseph.

It had a pub, restaurant, dance hall, games room, lounge as well as accomodation for service personnel.

    Thank you very much for the comments Karen – it was the first time the sun had poked its head out of the clouds for a week and seemed to bathe the bricks, always amazes me how much HDR can show detail – still a lot to learn about the style but enjoying trying it out.
