Wow never heard of this I always assumed the tallest structure would be one of the gorgeous historical churches over there. This is very interesting thanks for sharing 👍🏻

Salisbury cathedral has the tallest spire in Britain at 404 feet, this would still dwarf that.

O wow!

I'd never even heard of this beast, thanks for sharing.

They used to have an annual open day where you could go up (stairs or lift), but i believe this has stopped.
H&S concerns probably.

Wow :

up close & all made from a continual, single pouring of concrete.

That just boggles the mind, "At 1084 feet tall". How did they manage to pump concrete that high? Just amazing, simply utterly amazing.

High pressure pumps from the hollow inside i guess.

Its pretty amazing what we can build. Still amazing they can pump concrete that high. I mean straight up pretty much, and wet concrete is not that light.
