A new exhibition is shining a spotlight on the bold, modern architecture of a Hampshire town.

Modernist Andover is currently on display at The Lights Theatre, featuring artwork celebrating the town’s overlooked buildings.

The exhibition, designed by Beau Oui? Studio, will run until the end of June.

The display includes prints of the Twinings factory, The Savoy Cinema, and council estates such as Cricketer’s Way and King Arthur’s Way.

An artist involved in the project said: "We're known as a market town with a Georgian High Street, but we've also had striking Brutalist concrete buildings and cutting-edge 60s modern design."

The exhibition was created over a six-month period, during which two of the featured buildings were demolished and another was placed at risk of redevelopment.

The artist said: "Age and build quality took their toll on some of the buildings, but seen here on paper as they were in their heyday, the great designs still speak for themselves."

Modernist Andover is free to visit and will remain on display until the end of the month.
