Florence Park is an attractive residential area developed in the 1920s to provide privately rented houses for the growing number of employees in Cowley industries, with a large public park at its heart. This attractive, low building, which replaced a Portakabin, has a glulam timber structure and cedar cladding. With a Sarnofil green roof it is a major technological and aesthetic upgrade. Used mainly as a Children’s Centre.
