Listing: Former showroom and company offices for the Wolverhampton Gas
Company. 1938 - Lavender and Twentyman. Locally Listed, approved March 2000.
Comment: This site is remembered for the classically styled gas board
showroom and offices that was on it before. The present building is another
example of the high class work of the local architect, Twentyman: - note that
the date is 1938. But the main point of this style is the clean lines and
ordered geometry and this would be much better seen if someone would clean the
stonework.
The building's name drives from the clock and the fact that there are
barristers' chambers within.
