Yeah, I've got a feeling they moved into that one within the last year or so, because I'm quite sure it was the one in the photo that I went to to pick up the tickets a couple of years ago.

That building also had a makeover a couple of years ago and used to look like a typical 1980s brown box.

Yes, that's correct. ACCU built their current building next door to their old one, which is now the URS building as pictured. It was quite a few years ago now - i remember sitting in meetings with ACCU in their old building and watching the new building go up next door. They (ACCU, or 'peoples choice') are of course now going to construct another new building where the current savings and loans head office is, having merged with S&L a couple of years back.

The URS building had a "facelift" shortly after ACCU moved out which saw all that strange stuff affixed to the front of it. It looked better as a plain old round-pillar-concrete-ledge building IMO.

Pretty sure it was Hames Sharley that did URS.

Still looks at least 2 levels short but a tall next door on Waymouth and over the road (YCA) would help.

Can just about call this 'complete'.

All site hoardings are gone, and I heard the occupant was moving in over the last weekend.
