Description:This view was taken by local resident May Williams. Chatsworth was built in 1966 and has since been demolished as part of the urban renewal of Lee Bank. To the right of the tower is the old Midland Adult School Union building off Cregoe Street. In the last few years before it was demolished it was used as a Community Centre for the area. It was built in the early seventies, being opened by Lord Mayor Neville Bosworth in 1974.
