Balfron Tower

Balfron Tower
Balfron Tower was designed by Ernő Goldfinger in 1963 for the London County Council, built 1965-67 by the GLC, and has been a Grade II listed building since 1996.

This was the last photo I was able to take with my trusty Canon G11 before it gasped its last breath. It served me well for over 4 years. R.I.P.

, have particularly liked this photo

Like the "streets in the sky" in Sheffield, they could be good places to live in.

"before it gasped its la...." was as far as I got with the caption before clicking on, and I was disappointed to find it was your camera that had gasped its last breath and not the building. Why they should list grot like this, whilst ripping the heart out of the City of London, is beyond me.
