John Madin

Who was John Madin?

John Hardcastle Dalton Madin was an English architect. His company, known as John H D Madin & Partners from 1962 and the John Madin Design Group from 1968, were active in Birmingham for over 30 years. Some of the buildings his company designed have now been demolished, and the now closed Central Library will soon be among them. Societies such as the 20th Century Society campaigned to have some of his buildings listed, but have not achieved this while English Heritage has twice recommended the former Library should be listed, but the attempts were unsuccessful.
