This used to be British Relay House, the Southern Area Office of the television rental company British Relay. I worked there on and off between 1965 and 1971 so remember it well as British Relay House when the company occupied the whole building. It later became Elgar House, although any connection with the composer was somewhat remote. The photograph is taken from the middle reservation of the dual carriageway. By 2014 any mention of Elgar House had gone and instead the sign in its place said "PRS for MUSIC". This is a a UK copyright collection society and performance rights organisation.
