During my monthly meet up with @jaws we drove past this building to find an obvious entrance and were in within 10 mins of parking up - an unexpected find but was worth a look around.
I've lived in Hull for 24 years and always wondered what was behind those mirrored glass windows, safe to say there's not a lot...
History (some stolen text from Hull Daily Mail):
Europa House is a 6-storey office block in Hull, built in 1974-5 and designed by John Brunton & Partners of Bradford. With its unusual, curved façade, it occupies a prominent city centre site on the corner of Anlaby Road and Ferensway, adjacent to Hull railway station.
- there's not much more to it, however it's always been portrayed as an iconic Hull building.

As mentioned prior, during my monthly meet-up with @jaws we drove past this building spotting an obvious entrance, within 10 mins of parking up we were in. An unexpected explore for sure however the view paid off! Some fuse boards seemed to be lit up but isolated, only thing present in the building were some retrofitted lights in one of the stair wells. It was nice to get into somewhere, and to get in easy, as weeks prior we set off an alarm at Debenhams not far from this building and it was a struggle getting in and even more of a struggle trying to get out with alarms blazing.
Quite a lot of the floors looked like the following, empty and gutted.

Thanks for having a look,
