Have on driven past it but looks like an interesting building but looking slightly the worse for ware. Some nice looking leaded windows. It is a three storey Victorian building on the corner of Bromsgrove Street and Lower Essex Street in the city centre, back of Arcadian Centre off Hurst Street. Have looked on Google Maps and from above it looks rather green so guess it’s been empty for sometime. It not on street view or would have posted a picture. Wonder if anyone knows what this building is/was and if anything is going to happen with it. Hope someone can help identify the building.

It can only be the TUC headquarters, as I would hardly think its the old Ringway Club, well at least not as I remember it.

AS phil says it seems to be the TUC. Picture from virtual earth below. Seems strange no-one has done anything with it

yes that the building, as you drive past it is quite sad can see its former glory but not anymore, must have some sort of preservation order or something on it, anyone know?
