A 1960s office block, the facade broken up by white vertical ribs and incised concrete panels beneath the windows. The far section has an abstract relief in concrete, very much of its time (Image]). The architects were possibly Maurice Tribich & Partners. The elevated walkway links, or used to link, to the department store across the road (now John Lewis).
