and his firm Architectural Lighting Ltd became the leader in
the field. He also designed for Conran, Habitat and Heals

drawing measures 770x520mm. Signed and dated 6-4-61. The
club was converted by Nelson from the garage of the church’s
Manse House. Its small kitchen, known as the ‘galley’, was based
on Nelson’s experience as a designer in the aeroplane industry.
The designs are interesting for their economical use of space
and their decorative schemes, which are aimed at the emerging
demographic of the ‘teenager’. Nelson lived in the village and
this project - carried out in conjunction with the teenagers shows his involvement with the local community.
