Joseph Rank House - Harlow - Jan 2011

[Nelly]

Joseph Rank House is the tallest building in Harlow at a height of 151 ft (46m)

Once a headquarters for Rank, Hovis Mc Dougal (The bread makers) it is under now construction to turn it into 132 flats

This was my first ever roof and I chose the windiest night of the year so far to visit, the guy on the weather just said that gusts of 85 m.p.h. have been measured, and it felt like it up there!!!

Thanks for taking the time

My first ever roof, I don't do height well, but I was surprised to find a 6 foot wall around the perimeter, If you look at photo 4, my mate is standing on a foot and a half tall sealant tin just to be able to see over.

Are all high building walls like this? I don't know, but I'll tell you when I do my next one :mrgreen:

Ha ha, me and kent_urbex walked right past this when we did the Harlow Odeon - we did think about jumping the fence and climbing to the top, but kent_urbex needed to get home.

Pretty clear shots for your first set of rooftop photos, not bad at all.
