I'm being ironic with the title, of course. This structure, an office building, the latest to be built in our fair city, overlooks or - more accurately - looms over the Friargate Conservation Area with its Georgian Houses and mature plane trees. I'm reminded of a cartoon of many years ago in which an architect was drawing a matchbox that was perched on top of his drawing board and his colleague was asking to borrow it when he had finished with it!
Well, yet another unlovely building, to me anyway, that we will be stuck with for many years to come, along with the awful Westfield Centre and the new bus station, with, no doubt, more to come.
