Possibly the first time I’ve stopped there in sunshine, now I think of it!
Anyway: Phwaor

I shudder to thing of the amount of asbestos there is in that tower and the adjacent buildings. :blobcatgrimacing:

@essjayjay oh yeah, I bet.
I hope somebody can find some way to use that tower again one day. It really does seem a shame to see it so neglected, but I can appreciate the practical and financial problems.

@WiteWulf @essjayjay yeah, bang in the middle of the 60s, I think. The main reason it can’t have the public in right now is there’s only one means of escape, but I wouldn’t be at all surprised to learn there might be other problems like that, too.
