Image description: Central tower of the the red brick and terracotta Prudential Assurance building, Holborn, London.
This massive and lavish Victorian Gothic building (this section built 1899-1906), was designed by Alfred Waterhouse, architect of the similar but more inviting Natural History Museum.
Look for it reproduced on the cover of Old Holborn tobacco tins.
