Lead or Rumour info - HMRC Cardiff

[DanMoist]

"Work has commenced on the demolition of the former HMRC office building at Tŷ Glas in Llanishen."
I think it's this: Google Maps

Thanks for the lead. It has actually been done; there are photos somewhere online. Looks fairly bland inside but it is huge and the views from the roof would be decent (for Cardiff). We looked a month or so ago and ended up just baiting security but can confirm there is a guy on site

Edit: just looked at Google Maps from a few weeks back and there's Erith signage everywhere and building site type cabins by the entrance so this would suggest that demolition is very nigh!

We had a look recently, as you say pretty stripped and bland inside so didn’t bother going any further.

The roof looks like a good viewpoint. The rest of it looks pretty boring, I agree.

I went for a recce today. It looks like access might be possible. They've been stripping out parts of it on the ground level. There's a security hut on site on the other side of the building. Might be worth waiting until they finish the asbestos removal first.

Would this place still be doable? even with the demolition going on?
If anyone near this place could like sorta check it our from the outside and report back it would be very helpful

I went in and in the top last week. The building has been stripped but going on the top and also looking at the partially demolished parts was fun. They've demolished two of the four wings of the main building. It's going to take them weeks to finish the demolition. There's a staircase in the centre and one at the end of each wing. There's some cameras on the perimeter but I found a route that avoided them. Tip: take a look behind the green gas service building next to the traffic lights. I don't think security were on site. There's normally a car parked outside the security hut, but my route is hardly visible from their hut anyway. They don't seem to do any demolition work on weekends.

I betta get my ass down there then. Assuming it wouldn't be easy to find though, probably sealed off or very well hidden.
