A look at the pyramid in Watford town centre.
Watford Pyramid was built in 1985 and was designed by Arthurell and Kirkland Architects to be home to a Blockbuster Video store!

The shop - located at 161-165 High Street, Watford - is now home to a Cotswold Outdoor store.

Pyramid hunting.
I enjoy seeing and discovering different and interesting examples of architecture. And living in Stockport we have a myriad of intriguing buildings. Most notable of which is possibly the Stockport Pyramid! It's a striking sight and clearly seen by thousands of people passing by on the M60 and railway lines each day.

The Watford Pyramid was doubly interesting to me as it was a) a pyramid, and b) a former Blockbuster Video store - another area of study of mine.
How tall is the Watford Pyramid?
I'd be interested in finding out how tall the Watford Pyramid is, and how it compares in size to the Stockport Pyramid.
