Apologises for the mess in attaching the above images. But I think it is important to understand the context of this building, in relation to the canal, Parnell Road etc, etc. Places, which at the moment are rather ‘lost to the city’.
Bear in mind that this development is the first thing around that place for yonks! I remember I bought my first bike there too, still using it. So maybe some happy motorists will benefit too!
