Located on the corner of Holland Road and built in the 1980s on the site of an old electricity works. The name derives from a story of a plane that crashed into the corner during the Second World War though it appears to have been a Bristol biplane in 1938 which probably wouldn't have sounded so good. After its construction it was used by Nurdin & peacock as a cash and carry then a series of telecom companies until its current occupiers, Marathonbet, moved in a few years ago. I'm guessing the building's primary use is for data storage.
