Another good choice - spent three happy years in its vicinity and a quite a few happy evenings within its walls
Same here (1987-90). It certainly is a superb part of the world. Absolutely loved it there.

I think they're great from that angle, but seen from the back as you approach them from the main UEA campus area they are hideous, hideous, a gloomy canyon of dank, stained unredeemed concrete.
I'd agree with that entirely (even to the point of going out with a girl at UEA, though I expect not the same one). But to get to the lovely inside though you still had to cross those windswept aerial walkways above that stained grey abyss.Maybe, but used to go out with a girl at UEA and remember the nice communal kitchens and the great floor to ceiling windows looking out over the lake. Great buildings from the inside, I thought!
The half dozen acrow props are a nice touch. Were the put in during the defects liability period?Not brutalist, but modernist - Peckham Library, a brilliant building!
Reiver's castle/fort actually performed a useful function perhaps?So how come you are OK with that but not a wind turbine?
View attachment 78467 Preston Bus Station, there was a long campaign to get it listed to save the council from demolishing it.
Also the Byker Wall. Too expansive and different across its whole length to do justice in one photo nabbed off google.
