"David Suchet has had his last outing as Poirot. The TV adaptation was a glorious love letter to the design and architecture of the 1930s.

"... A pantheon of modernist and Art Deco British buildings acted as backdrop to a series of murders of the well-to-do.

"... [For instance,] the De La Warr Pavilion in Bexhill-on-Sea (below) is a British Modern Movement building. It opened in 1935 but after the end of WW2, its use declined and it fell into disrepair.
