Today's Premier Inn, on Victoria Bridge Road, began life as Highland House, designed by the architectural practice of Leach, Rhodes and Walker for the Department of Inland Revenue.  It was completed in 1966.  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.
