Kingsway House, Hatton Garden, Liverpool
Image: © Stephen Richards Taken: 26 Jul 2011
Built in 1965-67, the architects Derek Stephenson & Partners. Bands of hammered concrete and mirror glass. Pevsner reports that it incorporates first-floor elevated walkways (visible here) which were then very much in vogue in Liverpool, as they were elsewhere. It currently houses a number of departments of Liverpool John Moores University. The large poster on the end wall is an exhortation by the city council and NHS to "Connect, Be Active, Take Notice, Keep Learning, Give", part of "2010 Year of Health and Wellbeing". I need say no more, it satirises itself.
