Trellick Tower (Ernő Goldfinger, completed 1972), North Kensington, London

just one of the songs i've listened to recently, awkwardly grafted onto some of the news i've been reading recently

(original picture from Guardian)

The service tower side of 31 storey 100m high Trellick Tower, designed by the excellently-named Erno Goldfinger. Brutalist architecture at its finest.

Architect: Ernö Goldfinger

Construction: 1967-1972

Image Taken: September 2009

On the other corner: Costcutter. The most expensive twenty-four-hour supermarket in the world.

What the f**k are they on about? Nine pounds sixty for a couple of newspapers, some fags, and a drink?

"Nine pounds sixty."

Someone bursts through the door

"Give me a single, you get me?"

The shopkeeper (there's six of them. Remember the time some posh kid walked in followed by f***ing Crackula himself, wielding a crook-lock and swinging at the poor c**t, whose only crime was to point out that the Count could take a piss in the bogs instead of the road?) responds with, "No more singles. Out. Get out."

Many old streetnames were lost when the slum terraces were torn down and replaced with estates.
