Kelson House epitomizes this trend with its sleek design and commanding presence. As we gaze towards the top of the tower block, we are reminded of how it must have stood out amidst its surroundings during those formative years. John Gay's expert lens captures not only the physical structure but also hints at a sense of community within these walls.
