A staggering structure (for sale at the time) by John Brunton & Partners, 1972. The surface is covered in close-set vertical ribs (Image]). It appears to have been empty for some years, since Yorkshire Building Society moved out, and any redevelopment plan is likely to involve the loss of the building's forceful character.
