Towering above the seafront with its sharp vertical fins and unmistakable Brutalist profile, it’s part landmark, part local myth. Built in the 1960s as part of a wider regeneration plan, it became one of the most recognisable concrete towers in Britain.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-end=\"1018\" data-start=\"742\"\u003eI’d been circling this one for a while. There’s something deeply sculptural about the form, the rising lines, the alternating bands of texture and shadow.
