View Full Version : What is the building on the corner of Rockingham St and Charter Row?
Johnny.Five 28-11-2007, 19:58 I was waiting to pick up the missis from work and was watching no end of people coming and going. They all had secret passes that they swiped to get in and also had to enter a code on the door. It has an underground car park as well. Anybody wrk there or can help me solve my own personal curiosity.:help:
Singletrack 28-11-2007, 20:03 If its the building I think your on about, I think it is some kind of hostel for homeless people such as Salavation Army.

If it is this one (http://maps.live.com/default.aspx?v=2&cp=swwm9tgw9djf&style=o&lvl=2&tilt=-90&dir=0&alt=-1000&scene=7715900&encType=1), I think that it is the Identity & Passport Service
.... and William Hill (t'gambling folk).
Johnny.Five 28-11-2007, 20:08 It has no windows on the ground floor just an entrance door. It also has mirrored windows on the upper floors. All a bit to top secret for me.
Dizzyblonde 28-11-2007, 20:09 If its slightly around the corner at the bottom of rockingham street its BT's Northern Command Centre, they look after the National Spine, where the NHS electronic records etc. are held and also the clinical systems for the london area. ALso has other BT things.
The Salvation army is further down fitzwilliam st/ charter row - think its either the id place or could it be BT building
Sorry just seen the above post I agree with him

Johnny.Five 28-11-2007, 20:12 Cheers people I will be able to sleep soundly tonight!
Singletrack 28-11-2007, 20:14 It could be Milton House which is either Customs & Excise or inland Rev or other official type, so maybe Identity & Passport. Its got me intrigued now, I'm going to go and ask tomorrow. lol
Its a BT building, I work in there, its a 24hr building so there are always people coming and going.
If its Milton House you're on about, then its some government people, and William Hill on the top 3 floors! I worked there for a year 2005/2006!!
i work in milton house and there is william hill in there and some sort of passport service and then hsbc trainning.
satman2222 29-11-2007, 15:36 It's BT's network command centre. I worked there for 13 years before I managed to escape!:hihi:
Does anyone know what that concrete monstrosity is, next to the roundabout where Hanover Way becomes St Mary's Gate? It's a big long tall grey thing with no windows and looks ugly as all sin.
^^There's millions of threads on that one. One was started today, one last week, and so on...
