Remember "Get Carter"? (The original with Michael Caine starring, not the naff remake)

Remember the part where Caine throws the guy off the roof of the multi storey car park? Well, this is it!! I've even stood on the same spot!! Unfortunately the upper levels are closed these days due to the fact that it was built in the 60's and the vast amount of concrete aren't lasting as well as they should and they keep threatening to pull it down.

(",) Edit : I've just noticed the comparison between the pictures. How ugly my car park now seems sniff

Looking very nice....but...I can only recall back as far a s Donny Osmond....so...I guess I am too Young...but, sure is a Classy Wind Mill.

Oh this is beautiful!! I love windmills!! I have no idea what movie u're talking about though!! As for ur car park Mike, well, it is ugly indeed!! LOL!! ;P

Oh you pretty Chitty Bang Bang Chitty Chitty Bang Bang We love you, And our pretty Chitty Bang Bang Chitty Chitty Bang Bang loves us too. great fun! vaguely mike... hmmm... movie location shots... (looks through old photo album)

Interesting thread..... If I could drive on the highway and photograph at the same time I would show you a picture of the "big blue bug" our famous landmark on I95 as seen in the film Dumb and Dumber with Jim Carey..... The big blue bug is actually an oversized termite, for New Englad Pest Control..... but it's a well known landmark... Great shot jim! I love windmills...though I've never gotten to see one in person.

I am, therefore I create.......
