Its distinctive profile looms over its surroundings. Above a podium sits a tower with a triangular core and a wing projecting from each face, tapering to a point. The tower is clad in oblong concrete modules, reminiscent of the work of Richard Seifert. The architects here were Hind Woodhouse Partnership, the date 1971-74. Pevsner protests that it is "aggressive and loveless". Be that as it may, I find it rather impressive.
