    Thanks for interactive map. Tried it and it works. Does Leroux have the same for other areas? I tried leroux.co.uk and just get a blank page.

    A lot of tower blocks were built by George Wimpey Plc, but I couldn't find who the architect was.

    One wonders if it was just one architect who designed all the tower blocks that went up in Birmingham in the 1960s....;)

    A bit of history I suppose

    Yes, in a way. However we may dislike the decor, it was "home" to someone, and they decorated it as they saw fit. It worked for them, even if for no one else.
