One of Grimsby's few striking buildings. "A towering mass", wrote Pevsner. It is certainly uncompromising, and its castle-like vertical strip windows make it look more redoubtable. A brick service tower and brown cement-clad or perhaps aggregate-clad slab. It was designed by George Winterburn (Property Services Agency) and built in 1973.
