Forton Services – Miniature Concrete Model
Hand-cast in fine concrete. Shaped by memory.
Some buildings make the journey as memorable as the destination. Forton Services, with its distinctive hexagonal tower and futuristic viewing deck, has been a landmark on the M6 since the 1960s. Known officially as the Pennine Tower, it was designed to give travellers panoramic views over Lancashire and the fells beyond as a rare moment of architectural ambition in motorway service design.
Made for those who remember stopping there, looking out from the deck, or spotting it in the distance on long drives north.
This model is a keepsake for travellers, architecture lovers, and anyone who appreciates when utility meets imagination.

"I’ve always loved how unexpected it feels. Capturing the tower’s unusual geometry in miniature was an engineering challenge, ensuring the silhouette stayed true. It’s playful and purposeful at the same time, and I wanted the model to hold both qualities."
