The long building on the Lickey Road was built in 1931 as a Service Department for Austin owners. After the War the service department moved to the Flight Shed in Lowhill Lane. The building then became mainly used as an office for various departments, this is how it got its new name General Office Block (GOB)
Indeed - very hard to watch.
The end of an era, not forgetting this plant built so many Hurricane's to help win the BoB.

I liked this. Feeling blue now. That great, hawking thing chewing away at the brickwork...

It's so sad seeing that go. Sure the building is ugly and worthless, but it is riddled with history.
