cinema, steel works, water tower

Water tower

Originally built in 1936 to hold cooling water for the steel works, now a restaurant and cinema complex.

    The interesting shape adds to the restaurant. I'm glad it is being recycled.

    This water tower is totaly different than water towers here in Silesia. I like the idea of using them for entertaining.

    Seeking new uses for old buildings is not always easy. Leisure facilities, however, are always a good choice.

    Thanks for the comments.

    webruci: I have not been inside, either. But now I have discovered it, maybe I will go to see a film some time – in my space suit.

    Unseen Rajasthan: Thanks.

    Joan Elizabeth: The shape is, indeed, interesting. It is much photographed.

    Your EG Tour Guide: Waste not, want not.

    ical: A mosque! Maybe, if the cinema does not work out, they can repurpose it.

    Martina: Obviously, the Lyoner sausages have become intergalactically famous.

    joo: I have not seen anything else like this here. I think it only ever supplied water to the steel works.

    Anne: Yes, I read about the chocolates and the edible tourists, but I still have not worked out what either have to do with fish tails.

    Buenos Aires Photoblog: I am not sure, however, that Hooters was the best choice.
