These three tower blocks in St John's, Worcester have recently undergone major refurbishment, they have literally been given a face-lift. The present fashion with many buildings such as these, appears to be to have a white facade, though they look smart at present one cannot but wonder what they will look like in the future, say in twenty years when leaking gutters cause the walls to discolour. Incidentally the buildings are very visible from afar, a few weeks ago I could clearly see them from the top of Bredon Hill.
