Burrows Court, Residential tower in Sneinton, England.

Burrows Court stands 61 meters tall with 21 floors, containing 130 residential units constructed from aggregate concrete in the Nottingham skyline.

The building faced a significant gas explosion in 1984 that affected seven stories and left 20 residents without homes.

The structure represents the evolution of social housing in British cities, transitioning from council housing to private development over several decades.

The tower underwent renovation in 2018 through developer Stace LLP, transforming previously vacant units into functional living spaces.

Following its 2005 decommission by Nottingham City Council, the building shifted from residential use to temporary accommodation for asylum seekers in 2022.
