That seems to be the current name. A low curtain-walled block facing the street and, behind and perpendicular, a much larger curtain-walled slab with bulky service tower. Empty at the time of the photo and seemingly living on borrowed time. Buildings of this vintage - 1960s/1970s - are very unpopular and vulnerable.

Dist:0.1km<br/>Aka Edinburgh House. The upper storeys cantilevered out and composed of canted projections with strip windows. It might be clad in white concrete. Lots of office space on offer at the time of the photo.

Dist:0.1km<br/>In an Early English Gothic style with an impressive spire with flying buttresses and pinnacles. Most of what is seen today is the product of two building stages - John Oldrid Scott in 1876-78, and 1911-13 from whence the tower dates. Grade II* listed. Above is an unusual (to me at least) cloud formation. Is it altocumulus? Fellow Geograper Derek Harper suggests Altocumulus floccus or Cirrus floccus.

Dist:0.2km<br/>This modern office block at the corner of Herschel Street and Windsor Road stands on the site of a demolished building of the same name where astronomer William Herschel lived, and erected his great 40-foot telescope. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/William_Herschel The name "Oury Clark" is a reference to the building to its left, housing a firm of accountants.
