Some of you may know those as the last words spoken in 60's caper movie The Italian Job. As part of this year's "cultural olympiad" there were a number of artworks around the country. One of which is a replica of the coach from the final scenes of said film placed on the roof of the De La Warr Pavilion in Bexhill on the south coast.

The De La Warr Pavilion ( http://www.dlwp.com/ (http://www.dlwp.com/) ) is a grade one listed Modernist building, completely restored in the early 2000s, and well worth a visit even if it doesn't have a bus on the roof...

When you are allowed on the roof, there are some good views.

It has an eminently photographable spiral staircase.

It's well worth a visit as it's a very photogenic building.

Great pics and story... My fave quote:

I absolutely love the shot looking down the spiral staircase! It's perfect (I just favorited it on Flickr, too!).
