Hello everyone, I hope I've picked the right place for this post.
I have a (perhaps unusual) interest in post-war estates, particularly tower blocks, and would be really interested in any recommendations of places to see now in Birmingham, particularly those which have seen little refurbishment or change since being built in the 50s/60s/70s.
As these brutalist buildings are coming down very fast in recent years, it is important for me to try and document these photographically as best I can, before they are lost to history.
Please note whilst I would like Birmingham recommendations in particular, I am open to any more suggestions of relatively unchanged council/ex council estates or brutalist buildings and tower blocks of any kind, anywhere in the UK. I know their design is rather controversial and unpopular, but it would be nice to capture them before they are all torn down.
Thank you very much!
