Would anybody have any idea what this building is currently used for and is it the premises that were formerly the “Room at the Top” club? [It's at the bottom of North Street, opposite the "Hand Car Wash" place.

Don't know what it is now, but here's a glimpse of it in a former life on Leodis:http://www.leodis.net/display.aspx?reso ... =FULLWhile looking for it, I found this grisly tale: http://www.leodis.net/display.aspx?reso ...

Nothing at the moment, Flat upstairs and offices. It used to be "Sub" a nightclub in the last few years

It always looks as though its in use as offices when I pass. Is it 197 North Street? If so this company is listedhttp://www.idesta.com/contact.html

A recent picture of the rear of the building was posted in Flickr in the past few days. The amount of heat exchangers hung on the bak of the building was out of all proportion to the amount of air-con a small building could have.Thanks fro the answer.

Small world, isn't it? I worked there 2 years ago. That building, the bank & the little one between them are owned by 186k, a local ADSL wholesale & hosting company.
