Overlooking the Market Place
It is not for me, a non-resident, to call any part of Preston an excrescence. But why this bleak and unexciting building was permitted in what is possibly the best bit of urban landscape is beyond me. It was highly placed in a public poll of buildings to demolish in the town. I do notice that no other geographist has recorded this building, which is known as Crystal House. It was converted from offices to accommodation. That, I suppose, is a good thing in a town centre. See https://www.base1architects.com/projects/apartments-at-crystal-house . Unfortuantely the cladding fell short of standards and is being replaced - https://www.lep.co.uk/heritage-and-retro/heritage/prestons-ugliest-tower-block-set-for-a-facelift-but-will-it-look-any-prettier-3201074. It is documented when new at https://www.flickr.com/photos/rpsmithbarney/12892623523 .
