A short while ago I had to go into the centre of Melbourne for a work meeting. I paused for a coffee in Melbourne Central, a shopping centre with a preserved 'shot tower' at its heart!.
This tower used to produce lead shot. The tower was preserved under a conical glass roof in 1981 when the shopping centre was built. Its not a sight you see in many shopping centres!
You can find more shots from around the world at Our World Tuesday. SM
WOW!! What an awesome capture, Stewart!! Wonderful way to start my day!! Hope your new week is off to a great start as well!! Enjoy!!

ReplyDeleteHello Stewart, what a neat tower. I like the glass roof. Great photo.. have a happy new week!
ReplyDeleteFantastic shot. Glad you looked up whie having coffee!
ReplyDeleteThis is a great shot, Stewart. When I was in Melbourne in 1999 I really liked this way to preserve the history. One of my favourite places in Melbourne - the library, however, is a spectacular place, too. :-D
