As the sign over the door indicates, The Holborn was once the base of operations for the Newcastle Area Office of Staffordshire County Council's Social Services Department. In the mid-2000s this relocated to the Borough Council's Civic Offices, and since then the building is more or less a three-storey suite of junk rooms, though various proposals have been put forward for its use. The road leading down past the building towards St Giles' Church is also called Holborn: this is now rudely truncated by the A34 dual carriageway.
