Tower of London

[Shady]

Interesting little catalogue of entries for a design competittion to build a tower in London to rival the Eiffel Tower..
My fave can be found on page 21, spiral design with steam engine going up it..

Descriptive illustrated catalogue of the sixty-eight competitive designs for the great tower for London (http://www.archive.org/stream/descriptiveillus00lynd#page/n3/mode/2up)

About now I'd say something like "but at least the Italians managed to build there's, they seem to have the will to do something".... however I won't :D

Good find though Shady. The ones that contained offices and actually had some real use would have been better, not that that aspect would have bothered the Victorians.
