1 Old Town Hall, Cobh, Ireland. Up for sale when this was taken in 2007, now a Chinese restaurant
2 Concrete tower, Harwich harbour - no idea of its function, if any...
3 Perch Rock lighthouse, New Brighton, during the Tall Ships Race from Liverpool, 2008
4 Arts Tower, Sheffield University, built 1966, listed grade II*. The tallest university building in the country, with one of the few surviving paternoster lifts. When first built the entrance was across a pool with fountains - this had to be filled in because the winds around the base of the tower meant people got soaked going in
Paternoster - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
5 and 6 Balkerne water tower, Colchester, opened 1883, taken out of use 1987. Over a million bricks were used in its construction. Nicknamed Jumbo after the circus elephant of the time and because it took as long to build as the gestation of an elephant. Its future is uncertain
7 Water tower, Bleriot-Plage near Calais

I once went in one of those paternoster lifts at Exssex Uni.(was there for an interview) -not my thing at all made me quite anxious!:eek::D

Might be the reason I decided not to take the research post they offered me!
