Editing Giles Gilbert Scott (section)

===Last years===
After the immediate rush for building work caused by war damage had died down, Scott put a new roof on the [[Guildhall, London|Guildhall]] in the City of London and designed modernistic brick offices for the Corporation just to the north. Despite having opposed placing heavily industrial buildings in the centre of cities, he accepted a commission to build [[Bankside Power Station]] on the bank of the [[River Thames]] in [[Southwark]], where he built on what he had learnt at Battersea and gathered all the flues into a single tower. This building was converted in the late 1990s into [[Tate Modern]] art gallery.

Scott continued to receive commissions for religious buildings. At [[Preston, Lancashire]] he built a Roman Catholic church, St Anthony of Padua on Cadley Causeway (1959),<ref>https://taking-stock.org.uk/building/preston-st-anthony-of-padua/</ref> which is notable for an unusually long and repetitive nave. His [[Our Lady of Mount Carmel and St Simon Stock|Carmelite Church in Kensington]], up the road from [[St Mary Abbots]] built by his grandfather, used transverse concrete arches to fill a difficult site (the church replaced another lost in the war). Scott created the design of the [[Trinity_College,_Toronto#Chapel|Trinity College Chapel]] in [[Toronto]], completed in 1955, a lovely example of perpendicular Gothic, executed by the local firm of George and Moorhouse and featuring windows by E. Liddall Armstrong of Whitefriars.

Scott remained working into his late 70s. He was working on designs for the Roman Catholic Church of Christ the King, [[Plymouth]], when he developed lung cancer. He took the designs into [[University College Hospital]], where he continued to revise them until his death aged 79.
