This is a relatively diminutive building, which has been a constant source of fascination down the years, walking to and fro down Swan Street.
This is the site top centre, almost under construction in 1970.
To the left can be seen the long gone CWS Fresh Fruit Fish Poultry & Egg Depot.

Then yesterday I took these snaps the interior seen through murky windows.
The Barclays insignia now revealed.
