I often have to go to the Cargo Fleet Offices in Middlesbrough. Built in 1916 for the Cargo Fleet Iron Co. Latterly used as offices for British Steel and the council. It has now been refurbed into small business and office space.
Refurb has been done very sympathetically, all the wood panelling in the reception area and corridors has been left in situ and the original cage style lift is still in use. There is also a mini museum in the reception with artefacts from the steel and shipbuilding industry.
