Carliol House and Commercial Union House, Pilgrim Street, NE1
-
Description
"See also [[4414952]]. Unfortunately, not only is Commercial Union House a particularly glaring example of early 1970's pre-cast concrete ****-you neo-brutalism, it also has the effrontery to jut out half-way across Pilgrim Street, thereby disrupting the views up and down this historic route - see [[4412163]]. A view north up Pilgrim Street is shown in [[4448234]]. The "Modern Architecture" website somewhat understates the awfulness of this building by saying that it makes "a negative contribution to the streetscape" http://manchesterhistory.net/architecture/1970/commercial.html . One of the highest ranking of Newcastle's Masterpieces of Modern Architecture https://www.geograph.org.uk/search.php?i=109769006 ." Photo by Mike Quinn, 2015. -
