One of my personal favourites is back on the market. This 1950s midcentury modern house in Bridlington, East Yorkshire. A popular holiday let in the past, as well as the star of an album cover. bit.ly/4szOZaC

If you are looking in this part of Scotland, this 1960s time capsule in Troon, South Ayrshire is an interesting one. Not great from the outside, but some interesting details within - and one of the cheapest I've featured. bit.ly/4zWgmOq

I often focus on the Tootal scarf, but there's also history between Mods and the college scarf too. So I've put together a few words on the subject, picking out some of the more interesting designs as well. bit.ly/4jI0Zo1

An icon of British modernism and a listed building, the Six Pillars 1930s modern house in Dulwich, London SE26, is now up for sale after being sympathetically renovated since it was last on the market 15 years ago. bit.ly/48dJSmZ

Took my kids over to see these, not sure they were impressed. I love them though and for me, Amyas Connell and Basil Ward's Third Sun House in Amersham, Buckinghamshire is the pick. On the market, and with a slightly reduced asking price right now. bit.ly/48cVaYA

Still can't get over how cool this is. The Donaldson Futuro House in Idyllwild, California, USA, is probably the best Futuro out there, as well as a listed property, and up for sale. That interior is so clever and stylish, as well as practical. bit.ly/4sjyOy0

One of the best of the year, this 1960s midcentury modern house in Prenton, Wirral, Merseyside, is a time capsule of a past era – and now discounted in asking price with a new agent. bit.ly/4jwm98E

Not just any Futuro, the Donaldson Futuro House in Idyllwild, California, USA is probably the best out there, as well as a listed property. The interior is incredible too - the retro dream. On the market right now. bit.ly/3VEVf4E

Feeling the cold a bit? Go Up The Junction like Dennis Waterman with a Submariner Jumper. Jump The Gun has some great ones, with interesting options from the likes of Gloverall and Private White VC too. bit.ly/4i7rYIm

The new clothing ranges are landing right now, including some new and eye-catching 1960s-style women’s knits at Fred Perry. bit.ly/3VoluMz

Back in 2025, they released some sets, which were added to with these Playmobil x Vespa 80th anniversary sets. proving very popular earlier this year. Might be even more popular now as they're discounted in the Prime Day Sale. bit.ly/4z9oWJs

A variation of this arrived and sold out in February. So good to see another vintage-style houndstooth check zip-up jacket at Marks & Spencer, part of its 100th anniversary of its clothing range. bit.ly/4ztCcJd

Just on the shelves, the Adidas Spezial FC Gazelle trainers will likely be sold out by the end of the day. bit.ly/4iLcj2n

Subtly updated, but this 1950s Robert Townsend midcentury modern house in Edgbaston, Birmingham still carries much of its MCM charm within. A big plot, plus internal and external balconies too. bit.ly/4gZGwIu

One of my favourite Span estates, and on it is this Eric Lyons Templemere Span House in Weybridge, Surrey, which is one of the best I have encountered. First time on the market and packed with original details. It won't be on the market long. bit.ly/4xOBztg

Just a reminder that this 1970s modern house in Old St. Mellons, Cardiff, South Wales, is going to auction next week. It's quite something inside and out, but you'll need a close look before you bid. Offers over £350k. bit.ly/4hdsAf1

Leisure shoes or trainers? You can make the case for both (they were pitched as leisure shoes back in the day), but I will go with 1970s Adidas Riviera trainers for now. Just reissued and on the shelves. bit.ly/4g69lSW

A development featured on this site in the past, but this 1970s Monkswood modern house in Leeds, West Yorkshire, is just on the market. Note that these houses, built for TV executives half a century ago, always sell fast. bit.ly/4wSvprz
