Atom

 

The Atom is a panopticon situated close to the Haworth Road Car Park above Wycoller in Lancashire.

 

A panopticon is a structure, space or device providing a comprehensive or panoramic view; in this case, of the beautiful countryside of The Forest of Trawden.

 

Atom is a result of 3 years work by designers Peter Meacock with Katarina Novomestska and Architects WCW.

 

The structure originally included a polished steel ball inside, designed to reflect the views through the circular windows, but unfortunately this has had to be removed due to vandalism.
