Great Thornton Street Block 1 is a 15 storey tower block in Hull. The block is in a row of 5 tower blocks on the south side of Anlaby Road leading towards the City Centre. The 3 Great Thornton Street Street Blocks are identical, and were built in the late 1960s. They were later joined by the similar Cambridge Street Block 1 and Block 2. All 3 blocks have 112 flats in them, and remain the property of Hull City Council. The blocks are of brick construction, and are all to receive cladding.
