Stonebow House, Stonebow, York
Image: © Stephen Richards Taken: 14 May 2013
Built in 1964 by Wells, Hickman & Partners, the development incorporating a four-storey tower, shops and car parking. It is probably considered by many to be York's ugliest building but the details and materials are actually good quality. It suffers more from its otherwise genteel setting. Demolition may be the favoured approach, but with a bit of TLC it could be re-born and, who knows, become one of York's most beautiful buildings
