Summary[edit]

Description
English: Folgate street, Spitalfields 18th century Huguenot weavers' houses line Folgate Street; they were saved from demolition by a concerted campaign in the 1960s. Overshadowing these is the ultra-modern Broadgate Tower and associated 201 Bishopsgate building. The 'A frame' structure of the tower is designed to provide structural strength; unlike conventionally-designed skyscrapers this building does not have a central core - necessary to distribute weight away from the raft across the railway out of Liverpool Street station on which it is built.
