Don't get me started on 1960's architecture, let alone 1970's architecture!

OK, your shot is a fine example of retro architecture which is aping the art-deco movement of the 1920's which in turn is aping the Greek classical....

By golly Rob that picture sent you off on a tandem,sorry I meant tangent..I'll see if I've got a few more pic's of buildings for you .Only joking ,love to see emotional responses,much better than no response at all.

OK, I'll be serious. How about this monstrosity of the "Brutalist in your face School", just outside Gloucester. Vile, isn't it? This is a good idea for a thread. May I take it you don't mind others posting shots?

Shouldn't that be "Fawlty"?

Well, this place is up for sale, if you want to set yourself up as a 21st century Basil!

Rob,Please feel free to expand the thread with other pic's.I love the irony of them boarding up that building,they should have left the vandals in to eat it away from the inside.Having said that ,the square tower and the pitch of the roof reminded me of some Italian old churches I've seen.

I see what you mean - there is a similarity in general style. I suppose there is nothing original in the world!
