Farewell to Cardinal Square

The history of the Cardinal Square office block off Nottingham Road, Derby, is reasonably well-known, but we would be interested to hear from anyone who worked there in its earlier days as Eastgate House.

When originally built in the 1960s, it was the home of Rolls-Royce, but it eventually became surplus to their requirements and was empty for a long time before its refurbishment in the 1990s, when its forbidding grey concrete was painted a more inviting blue.

From 2001 until 2008, it was the home of Northcliffe Electronic Publishing, later Associated Northcliffe Digital, the company which publishes You and Yesterday. In February 2008 it moved back to the Derby Evening Telegraph building on Meadow Road where NEP first started up in the late 90s.
