If indeed this was possible, I think it looks even worse from this angle! Looks like a fire station training tower now. It looks so incredibly cheap and nasty.
Truly shockingly shit - the best so far I think!
PS - let us know where it is so we can avoid the town for the sake of our eyes.

If those were tarted up they'd be ace. The stone frontages are lovely.
There is a similar sort of thing in Ancoats - run down but actually a really nice building. Will dig a picture out.

It's in the centre of Shipley. I am in Bingley this weekend so may stop off and marvel at it IRL

They're impressive.
Explore with Google Street View.
Turn back from the terraced houses and have a look down the side streets and communal garden areas of the flats.

Hah, I didn't even read this comment, but I just realised it looks like a fire training tower as well and went to find a pic
Apparently the people of Shipley are proud of it and you can get t-shirts and prints of it for your walls.

They could be great if some modernisation was done on them - good solid buildings. Bit too close to the freezing sea for my liking though - you could see the fog in the street view pictures!

Bus stations are always so dreary aren't they. Suck the joy out of you. Have you sampled the delights of Rochdale bus station? Horrendous - this isn't my pic, and it really is this dark and grim inside. A new one is due to open this year thankfully.
Is that the Dobbins building? (or the bobbins buildings as I call it).

I have never had the pleasure of Rochdale. Tbf Huddersfield bus station has improved quite a lot over the past 15 years. There's going to be a Greggs and everything there soon

Might be - not sure what it was called to be honest, but remember there were fears that some homeless people may have been sleeping inside when it burned down. There weren't thankfully.

In the North the pinnacle of sophistication is when we have a new Greggs open. We are folk of simple pleasures.

Here is a pic of the flats in Manchester I mentioned. They are arranged in a large square, sealed off from public access, with a large open space in the middle. They are a bit tatty but some investment could work wonders on this place.

Boring old wall, about to be felled.

Reminds me of the Eldon Square bus station in Newcastle (it's now been relocated)

And another, this time in a fetching grey render. Lifts the spirits!

I remember that bus station from when we used to go up to Newcastle as teenagers. Used to go down in the lifts from Fenwicks to get to it.

I like painted advertising on the sides of buildings - so much nicer than a massive billboard nailed to them.

They are beautiful, you mean the old council tenement places?
