(2117) I wasn't surprised to find out locals refer to it as 'The Kremlin'. Yuck - 90s faux art deco designed building with god knows what stuck on the top. Originally built to house the Departments of Health and Social Security. Now a NHS building.

Visited after Trans Pennine Trail walk from Woodlesford,building now NHS England. An Article from the Independent "Bureaucrats stay in the pink" The Taxi drivers call it the 'pink thing'. You can't miss it: cliffs of brick and red granite,topped with a silver spire off Dan Dare's rocket, dominate the eastern edge of Leeds's shabby inner city.It is Quarry House, the new home for bureaucrats of the Departments of Health and of Social Security. The DSS commissioned it in 1989, when, as a spokeswoman says,'public spending was not so tight'. The building is the result of a government drive to move departments out of London to help recruitment and cut costs.It cost 55m and will officially open in the next few months.Over 2,000 staff have already moved in.

Drove past on my way to work. I'm old enough to remember when Quarry Hill Flats occupied this site back in the sixties.

A well-styled modern chimney, although you wouldn't know that's what it is without looking very hard.

A familiar landmark but never realised that the central feature was a chimney.

1930s modernist building: the chimney is certainly striking. Night-time drive-by.
