| Tonbridge Daily Photo # 384 |
I have never warmed to the extension of council offices that were built onto the Mansion House, and former Orangerie (now the Tourist Office) at Tonbridge Castle. The architectual designs simply don't complement each other in their differences of style and period. Don't get me wrong here, I actually really like contemporary architecture as long as the old and the new structures adapt to the existing building lines in shape, and context. This doesn't do any of this for me. It fits into that 'carbuncle' desciption Prince Charles made so famous. In short, I will always see it as a functional ugly addition. Sorry Tonbridge!
