As
you approach President Buildings from the city centre, along
Savile Steet East, you'll find an original 19th century gate
and adjacent to that gate there's a plaque.
Today,
the gate is just a feature and the plaque, a brief insight
into the huge industrial empire that used to be run from these
premises. 150 years ago that gate was the main entrance of
Atlas Works, the HQ of the John Brown lndustrial conglomerate.
The original
offices of Atlas Works now house units one to seven of the
new office park, with its original first-floor timber walkway
splendedly restored (see below).
