Something of a carbunkle on the skyline of Norwich is this former Her Majesty's Stationery Office building. Been empty for a few years now and is occasionally used by the police for terrorist training. Here's a brief bit of history:
Night views taken from the top floor - weather to bad for climbing onto the roof.
Her Majesty's Stationery Office was originally the official publishing and stationery department of the Government of the United Kingdom. It was also considered to be one of the main print buyers, printers and suppliers of office equipment in the U.K.
Sovereign House was built in the 1960's for the HMSO, upon completion they moved most of the main operations to Norwich from London in the 1970's.
The now disused office building in Norwich's Anglia Square, has had at least three plans proposed for its use, all of which have rejected by Norwich City Council. The future of the site is now, at the time of writing (September 2009), very much in a state of limbo.
