I wonder why they did that, if its not listed, they could surely have
blown it up or bulldozed it and built a more up to date building?

The worst of those loons spend far more reusing something like that.

I passed it a few months ago and I had no idea what what happening - I saw
the scaffolding and just assumed it was a bit of maintenance.

I passed it again this week and saw the new glass so did some research.

A couple of photos from tonight.

You can view the planning permission here

or somewhere on there

and search for

And it looks from the photos that they have cladded the concrete instead
of cleaning it. A pity really as it distracts from the main original
design feature of the building - brutalism concrete.


It also looks like level 1 has an outside door.
