Designed by the Owen Luder Partnership for Whickham Council, construction began in 1968 and the tower opened in 1971. Its unusual profile quickly earned it the local nickname \u003cstrong\u003e\"Dunston Rocket\"\u003c\/strong\u003e, a name that stayed with it throughout its life. \u003cspan class=\"contents\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"PDq2pG_selectionAnchor\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"auto\"\u003eIts form grew partly from the difficult ground beneath it. The 29-storey tower required an unusual sunken concrete caisson foundation and dramatic structural supports, helping create the powerful silhouette that made it unlike almost any other British tower block. Historic England described the building as unique in Britain, while its nickname reflected how strongly its shape entered local identity. \u003cspan class=\"contents\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"auto\"\u003eThis model was about bringing that lost silhouette back into a physical form.\u003cbr\u003eI wanted to capture the strong vertical tower, the change in form through the building, and the distinctive supports at its base.

The 29-storey residential tower was particularly unusual because of the difficult ground conditions beneath it. Its foundations used a large sunken concrete caisson, a technique more commonly associated with harbour construction, while prominent structural supports contributed to its instantly recognisable appearance. \u003cspan class=\"contents\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"PDq2pG_selectionAnchor\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"auto\"\u003eAfter years of deterioration and problems with building services, residents were rehoused in 2007. An attempt to secure listed status was unsuccessful, and demolition began in January 2012 and was completed that September. Its loss made Derwent Tower another major Owen Luder-era Brutalist landmark to disappear from the North East, following the demolition of Gateshead's Trinity Square complex.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eALL EU ORDERS \u003c\/strong\u003eprocessed through our Etsy Store \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.etsy.com\/uk\/listing\/4578393761\/derwent-tower-dunston-concrete-brutalism\" title=\"Derwent Tower - miniature concrete model\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHERE\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMy concrete models are made to order and individually hand-cast in solid concrete.
