Cornwall Tower taken from Lodge Rd/Park rd junction (24/10/11)

Cornwall Tower was an 18 storey tower block on Heaton Street on the Boulton complex in Soho, Birmingham. Built in 1970, it was 52 metres tall.

In September 2011, Birmingham City Council stated their intention to demolish the tower within the next 5 years, as the tower no longer met modern standards for housing and had become uneconomical to maintain. The demolition is part of a wider £26 million clearance scheme which will see a total of 8 tower blocks across the city demolished. The tower block was demolished with explosives on October 26, 2014.
