The white building surrounded by scaffolding is the offices built for Player's in the late 1960s. “Radford House, Player’s former offices, by McMorran & Whitby (1965-7) is weatherboarded, with neo-colonial C18 sashes and columned entrance (condemned as 'superficial' by the City Architect David Jenkin)” (Elain Harwood in the Pevsner Architectural Guide to the city). The Player's No 1 factory to which it was attached, part of The Student Lodge, was destroyed by fire on 30 March 2015 - see Image] and others.
