VICTOR PASSMORE "APOLLO PAVILLION"
This urban creation was comissioned by Peterlee County Councill,the artist Victor Passmore ,wanted to build a walk in walk out ,a place to linger to think dream,play as he said "a free anonymous monument".
this was the idea .
However by the 1970s "sunny blunts"became certainley a place to loiter.it became a drug den,litter strewn everywhere,a no go area ,and being next to a lake it became covered in mould a real sodding eyesore.I love this building its been panned by locals and critics,they are now coming round to the idea and spending money on it!
