Architecture award in 2011, built in 1969, showing its age but its worth a look on a nice sunny day . Marmite, love it or hate it. Grade two structure surrounded by .... Go and see yourself. Brutalist art. Sculpture looked really amazing during Lumiere. I think that this feature should be left permanently. Normally I am not a big fan of Apollo but it was real pleasure to watch lights and music display. Total monstrosity what shouldn't have been built nor should it have been restored. Blown it to pieces with dynamite would be worth watching .some say it is art? Fart more like. Peterlees 'newtown brutal concrete architecture'. Does exactly what it say on the plaque. 🙂 We visited Passmore's Apollo Pavillion and after asking directions finally found it, tucked away in Peterlee's Sunny Blunts estate. We parked by the children's play area (free) and it was a short walk to see the pavillion and pond. If you're not moved by late 20th century Brutalist architecture, do not come. We loved it. It's a unique tribute to Victor Passmore and his influence on the building of this area of the new town. There is a pond with a lot of plants (not in the original vision) and we saw ducks and moor hens there. It's Grade 2 listed, so hopefully it will stiĺl be there for others to appreciate for a while yet. As the reviews show, this will not be to everyone's taste. To me this is a stunning building, thoughtfully placed. Well worth a diversion if you are in the area and interested in modern architecture, but bear in mind it's surrounded by people's homes, so maybe don't linger too long. Stunning brutalist sculpture which sits in the centre of a housing estate in Peterlee. Sadly the upper level was locked when we visited, which was a shame. It's certainly nice for a cheeky gander late at night when you fancy reminiscing over better days. Would recommend anyone in the area late at night to give it a peek and marvel. All I ask of you is that you too make some fitting memories for such a memorable piece of brutalist architecture. Victor Passmore's Apollo Pavilion is an odd and bleak place surrounded by an odd town, Peterlee. Standing near or on the Apollo Pavilion is an amazing experience, You feel like you've visited an alternative world or at least a time back in the 80s when such structures were common place. Surrounded by Peterlee, The town only adds to the feeling and experience you get by visiting this monument. Peterlee was built together alongside Apollo Pavilion and the buildings surrounding the monument were laid out by the artist. They originally had flat roofs which complement the brutalist design of the Pavilion, However now most have been converted to have a slope. Apollo Pavilion and Brutalism might not be considered nice looking but for me its a place I'd recommend, Not all experiences have to be nice. people don't seem to notice its grade listing, so it's happily not being pulled down any time soon Website change monitoring Monitor any webpage for changes – get instant email alerts when prices drop, new jobs are posted, products come back in stock, or competitors update their sites.
