Halifax
Northgate House, former Calderdale Council municipal offices. Built c1982, condemned c2012 and reportedly fit only for demolition, along with the connected Central Library block (not in shot). Sold by the council and miraculously found to be not fit only for demolition. The library is now a 6th Form Academy, and Northgate House itself has been extensively refurbished ready for retail occupation. Library facilities are now provided in a less convenient location at the back of the Piece Hall in a new building, grafted on to the Spire of the former Square Church.
