Millbank Estate

I've taken pics of these characterful flats around Tate Britain before now - they're all named after famous British artists. Have just discovered also that they were constructed from bricks recycled from the enormous Millbank penitentiary that stood on this site in the 19th century, the huge perimeter ditches of which are still visible http://www.flickr.com/photos/ayla63/6911580577/.

Lots more showers today as you can see.

How fascinating! I love odd things like that! I suppose now you've said it that they do look like prison bricks - pretty colour nevertheless.
