CLARENCE HOUSE

Many time this has happened to me and cloughandfowle2 now, we meet up and say "where we going tonight ?" after about half an hour of discussion we decide to revisit some old sites / sites we have not yet cracked, first place we try we got deterred by the security of the homeless variety.....
Next we thought lets just have a mooch and see what we see, then we see Clarence house ( its hard to miss it really ), we noticed it has an open roof like some sort of roof terrace, LETS DO IT !
so yeah whenever we find we have nothing to do wee always seem to find something new, last time this happened we happened to be ultimate ninjas in "a la alf cooks" :clap
anyway enough bragging.....

Some info, the building was proposed to be built in 2002 though building didn't commence until 2005 and was completed in 2008, and features 227 flats across 20 floors. It also has 6 retail units based around it. i can also tell you that the architect was "Carey Jones architects" and the main contacting company was " shepherd construction". When built it was the 8th tallest building in Leeds but is now currently only the 12 tallest standing at 202ft, which i find amazing because i can only really think of 2 or 3 that seem higher.

That will do for me, heres some drawings i did whilst up there.
