Description:Clydesdale Tower is one of the two Sentinel Towers in Holloway Head, Lee Bank, overlooking Holloway Circus. The view is looking southward along Bristol Street, with the dome of the Catholic Church of St Catherine of Siena prominent in the background. Built in 1964/65 on the corner of Irving Street, the church is dwarfed by Clydesdale Tower in this dramatic photograph. The view, presumably taken from its companion, Cleveland Tower, dates from 1992.
