A 1960s office block astride a motorway [A167(M)], now known as 55 degrees and also housing Your Metro Radio HQ, a bar, offices and flats. As a location name '55 degrees' [north implied] it is rather inaccurate and misleading - the 55 degree line of latitude is 3.14km further north [as measured on Google Earth].
