Description: Leaning tower of Bournemouth. The Square, Bournemouth, was in fact a large roundabout until 4 October 1992 when it was closed to traffic for the last time to enable a pedestrianisation scheme. It was only when workmen started removing the shrubbery that it was realised that the tower was actually leaning - the centre of the tower at the top being fully 18 inches adrift from the centre of the foot. Once the pedestrianisation was complete, the tower remained for a short period, during which this picture was taken, before itself being removed and replaced by a camera obscura/café that now stands there (see 509151).
