DESCRIBED AS BRUTALIST AND DESIGNED BY GOLDFINGER WHO USED TO HAVE A PENTHOUSE AT THE TOP BUT LEFT WHEN THE PROJECT GOT RUN DOWN CALLING THE RESIDENTS "UNGRATEFUL ANIMALS" IAN FLEMING AUTHOR OF THE BOND MOVIES WAS SO OUTRAGED BY THIS HE NAMED HIS MOST FAMOUS VILLIAN AFTER GOLDFINGER...LMAO....THE WORST THING ABOUT TRELICK TOWER WAS THE UNDEGROUND CAR PARKS ....WHEN I WAS REALLY SMALL I THOUGHT THAT WAS WHERE THE DEVIL LIVED ...BUT BEING A KID I STILL WENT DOWN THERE...LOL...NO-ONE EVER PARKED A CAR THERE...THE BEST THING WAS DEFINAETLY THE GRAFFTTI ART!!
