The building is empty at the moment but was formerly offices for Bird’s Eye Foods. It was built in 1961-2 to a design by architects Sir John Burnet, Tait and Partners, with Bylander, Waddell and Partners as engineers. The building is Grade II listed. The building reflected the 1960s predilection for geometric op-art forms in the design of its curtain walling which is enhanced by the reflective pool running the length of the building. It has a precast concrete and pre-stressed concrete frame. Floor construction is of high alumina cement (HAC) beams at 700/750 mm intervals, supporting concrete slab floors, giving an office floor span of 42’ (c13m), avoiding internal columns. http://list.english-heritage.org.uk/resultsingle.aspx?uid=1271706
