The building houses the offices of Warwick District Council, and is seen here from the visitors' car park. It was built for the Leamington Spa Building Society, falling vacant after the society was taken over by the Bradford and Bingley BS, which in turn was subsumed into Abbey National BS before it in turn was absorbed by Santander. The council acquired the building to meet the wish of staff and councillors to have all departments, then in half a dozen premises round the town, in one place. Fine old trees on the site speak of early 19th-century villas, long gone, whose gardens ran down to the banks of the Leam Image The council is pursuing a controversial scheme to sell the site for up-market housing and relocate its offices to the site of Image in the town centre.
