  1. The building , a problem with much concrete buildings is the thermal losses through walls, sometimes attempted to mitigate now with external cladding (see the changes on the 4 residential tower blocks), or changing the internal layout and the airspace heat pumps, which now appear fitted and with the internal refurb should last as long as the Tower of London .

  2. There is a lot of (negative) comparision between the South and the North. Even by 1975 Stockport had lost most of the textile mills and similar and the permanent smoke and fog that created the winter smogs ( German AirForce in WW2 - we tried to bomb the railway viaduct but we couldnt see it), had gone , and now just within 5 miles of the town centre one is into (green belt protected) the western hills of the Pennines / Peak District. In London go five miles south of the outer towns and while there is greeness (a little on the North Downs) it is more forested or flat heathland, there is a quite a difference in the mix of grass / tree cover .

  4. we have /had worse in the UK. Ringway should have done a quick shot of the wedding cake town hall up the hill. The buildings had to fit in the change in elevation height which is quite quick from the valley of the river mersey as well as avoiding a number of underground cave systems. about 800 yards east of the building footprint was a site the Romans chose as a defensible castle ( the bigger military camp was another 2 miles south east on ground that was more favourable to supply by road from the south )
