They seem to have started on your design already Paul from this picture



I don't like the mix of colours though

It hadn't ocurred to me that Capitol Tower will be more or less vacant when Admiral move out. It still makes me cross that the Herbert house was demolished to make way for it.

The plinth doesn't look too bad after its turn of the century refurb - but the tower itself is a bit of carbunkle.

I mentioned this on here a while back. We've talked loads about the new building, naturally, but it's one heck of an empty building for the city and I've not heard a thing about any plans the owners may have for it.

I never realised it had replaced such a building though !

There is another bigger pic of it in this photo stream, that has restricted usage so I cant easily post it here directly.
