Water tower to dwelling

I passed it a few months ago and I had no idea what what happening - I saw the scaffolding and just assumed it was a bit of maintenance.

A pity really as it distracts from the main original design feature of the building - brutalism concrete. It also looks like level 1 has an outside door. One for 'Grand Designs'. Very brave I'd call it. Bill |

williamwright laid this down on his screen :
One for 'Grand Designs'. Very brave I'd call it. Bill I have seen at least one other on there, seems an awful lot of steps. |
