Tower Blocks in Birmingham city centre
The Civic Centre Estate is a canal-side collection of four tower blocks in Birmingham city centre, by the International Convention Centre and overlooking the Cambrian Wharf and the top four Farmer's Bridge Locks. They were built between 1966 and 1969, and refurbished in 2006-2009.
They contain 16 (Brindley Close) and 15 (Civic Drive) storeys, but appear identical from the outside.
This image shows Norton Tower (left) and Crescent Tower, seen from Cambridge Street.
