Bletchley: Mellish Court
Image: © Nigel Cox Taken: 1 May 2010
Mellish Court dates back to the time when West Bletchley was a post-war London overspill estate, and Milton Keynes new town was a mere twinkle in the planners' eyes. With 136 flats arranged over 17 floors, and with an 18th ground level service floor, and with the Milton Keynes planners' current policy of sanctioning the construction of only low-rise new buildings, it is currently the highest building in the Borough of Milton Keynes, rising about 49 metres or about 160 feet above ground level. Inevitably therefore the roof is festooned with various telecommunications masts and aerials.
