History

Built in 1962, this grade II brutalist high rise was the home for Plymouth City Council right up until its closure in 2015 and has been stood vacant since. The 15 storey, post war tower was bought by developers 'Urban Splash' who have revealed plans to turn it into flats, offices, shops and leisure centre.

I've always had a fascination with this building, even before I got into exploring. Since its closure its been pretty far up there on my 'to do' list!
Unfortuanatly, by the time it was abandoned, I had already left Plymouth. So I took every opportunity I could to try and find a way into this beauty and ultimately, the roof. Attempts to gain access were few and far between over the last 3-4 years and usually carried out while down visiting family. I never gave up hope though!

On a cold night in October, I found my way in, on my own in this vast, derelict beast.

Less than a week later, I returned with @Seffy and @WhoDaresWins, to share the fruits of my labour. A rooftop session with friends and a lush sunrise over the Plymouth skyline ensued.

The Rooftop Restaurant closed its doors to the public in 1975.

There were wireless PIRs on the ground floor. Unsure if they were active, we decided to go no further.. Maybe thats for another time :thumb
