    This is bugging me, because I'm not sure exactly which building you mean.

    Is it the 1950s building covered in tiles?
    If so, it used to be a bank.

    Hi Simon
    It used to be a bank but the building had a bad fire a couple of months ago
    It doesn't look like they have started repairing the building yet
    I walk past it every day so I'll post a pic soon

    The tiles seem in excellent condition considering the fire. Nice blue cross detailing...seems an odd choice for a bank.
