| Civic Centre Estate |
|
The Civic Centre Estate is off Brindley Drive in Westside,
Birmingham. It is named after a planned civic centre that was partially built between the wars and then abandoned after the Second World War. Baskerville House and the Hall of Memory, now part of Centenary Square, are all that remain of this project. The rest of the site was developed for housing in the 1960's and contains 4 tower blocks and low-rise flats and maisonettes set in 12 acres of parkland known as the Civic Centre Gardens. The tower blocks, which overlook the Cambrian Wharf and the Birmingham and Fazeley Canal, are called Cambridge Tower, Crescent Tower, Norton Tower and Galton Tower. |
