Just realised there are no reports on this place here, so i thought i'd throw one up :)

Fiveways Tower is a 23 storey, 249ft high office block, built in 1979 as a replacement for Fiveways house next door, however, was hardly used due to problems causing Sick Building Syndrome.

Well done for throwing up. I like this a lot. I love the Birmingham skyline - it always reminds me of when i used to go to my grandma's as a kid. (She didn't live in the 5 ways tower) Is this the building that used to have that design on the side that looked like vomit?

Hahaha, Not as far as i know! You might be thinking of the design on the building opposite, its the one in the last photo, that has a stupid design on it. I love the birmingham skyline too. And living right on the edge of it. I walk out of my front door and see EVERYTHING in front of, and above me.

I think it is the building on the last picture. Thanks for that. There can't be many more exciting sights as coming in past Fort Dunlop (my earliest memory of a derelict building in the late '70's as a kid), over Spaghetti Junction and then along the Aston Expressway as it is just getting dark. Thanks for the Birmingham stuff :thumb
