It was stripped to the original skeleton framework and then rebuilt as all the new high rise appartments - "mutton dressed as lamb" as you might say

Dudley House is K2, I used to work on the 10th floor. Lower floors were council and upper were all sorts of stuff. The neigbouring tower was demolished as part of the light development, what was that called?Coming back to the leeds Perm, remember 'Say The Leeds and Smile'? I came up with that as a competition tie breaker. I got £25 and came second!

Admittedly due to many other circumstances, but look what's happened now and I'm afraid the Halifax has cost me dear recently. Can you think of a magic slogan to "get my brass back" please ??

Ha ha - I've always loved that original slogan (by a leading churchman I believe ??) and it certainly fits the bill in this case !! To be fair though, I might excuse Hull, as I have a very soft spot for that City and for the Holderness.
