Background

History

Intercity House was built when work to rebuild the railway station was started by the Great Western Railway in the 1930s but was delayed due to World War II. Work was restarted by British Railways in 1956 to the designs of architects Howard Cavanagh and Ian Campbell as part of the post war reconstruction detailed in "A Plan for Plymouth" put forward by Sir Patrick Abercrombie at the request of Plymouth City Councillors. The modernised station, including the tower block of offices, was opened in 1962 by Dr Beeching, The building was scheduled for a major update in 2014 as part of a ten-year plan to improve the facilities at the station.
