Trent Tower, Duddeston Manor Estate, Nechells Green, Aston, Birmingham.
Trent Tower is a 16 storey tower block on Duddeston Manor Road in the Duddeston Manor Estate. It is situated in the Nechells Green complex of Aston, Birmingham. Plans for the block were approved in 1964 and it was completed in 1968 by Stubbings using the Bison construction method. It is 47 metres tall and contains 92 flats. It is named after the River Trent.
The Duddeston Manor Estate was one of four that made up the Nechells Green / Duddeston complex of 27 tower blocks and part of the 67 council-owned tower blocks in Aston. Along with Cromwell Street Estate, it was refurbished in the 1990s, while the other 2 estates (Kellett Road Estate & Rupert Street Estate) were demolished to make way for new low-rise houses.
The only tower block to be demolished on the Duddeston Manor Estate was 12 storey Churchfield House.
