Cumberland House, Broad Street, Birmingham
Visited with Adders0121 and Bubblehead
History on the place is quite scarce
Research and a few signs littered around the building shows previous tennants such as, DSA, Inland Revenue, DEFRA, BCC, VOSA and possibly a few others. Mainly a government building by the looks of things. Marked for redevelopment, work was suppose to start in 2008 and finish 2010, however no such work has started, and a couple of bars and clubs still exist in the lower complex.
17 Floors of open plan office space, and a couple of floors worth of partioned offices is not very exciting. Completely stripped except for a few chairs, and the odd table, we headed straight for the roof.

Finding nothing of potential interest, apart from a cardboard coffin and Bubblehead’s giant bauble, disco fever took us over, and we became...
