Description
|
Today's Premier Inn, on Victoria Bridge
Road, began life as Highland House for the
Department of Inland Revenue. The tower
stands 23 storeys tall atop a first floor
podium. (You can see it below in its
original form.)
In 1995 the
Inland Revenue announced it would be moving out
and soon after the building was acquired by
the Bruntwood Group. Between
1998 and 2000 it was reclad and renamed "North
Tower". Today it is a Premier Lodge Inn
and the top 12 floors are home to 96 apartments.
