Commemoration stone

Bloody pigeon netting! Commemorative plaque over Melton St entrance to former National Amalgamated Approved Society building. Dated 1906 indicating that the Euston Rd section is a later extension. In fact, since the NAAS wasn't formed until 1912 this can't originally have been their building at all. Now I'm finding myself becoming fascinated by the history of a building that I don't even really like...

Chained shut

Melton St entrance to former National Amalgamated Approved Society building. I have no idea what this building is currently used for and now from looking at the way this and the gate at the Euston Rd entrance are chanied and padlocked shut I'm beginning to wonder whether it is currently empty. Another bit of unused prime real estate?
