    Default Ramada Hotel, Bridgtown, Staffordshire

    Where the A5(Watling Street), A34 and the M6 Toll all meet is this distinctive-looking hotel. I like that they've not gone for a simple box shape

    Interesting design

    Do people actually go & stay in Cannock though?

    It's a Pritchard design,all his buildings are on a similar theme. He built the Towers Business park in Rugely,there's a lookie-like building there. He's the gentleman who originally bought the old St.Georges site,had visions of lego buildings springing up in the grounds!

    *humph* Not as interesting a design as I thought. It'll have to be a representative of all of his designs then

    The Towers business park at Rugeley is well lit up at night too. Loads of coloured lights all over the place.

    That is a different shape !
    I wonder what it is like to stay in, I don't much like fancy floodlighting - unless the curtains are extra heavy size and duty !
