Description

This impressive building was designed by Bodley and Garner, and built between 1872 and 1876. The Bedford Lemere daybook does not state who commissioned this photograph, but it may well have been Bodley and Garner themselves. The Approach has since been renamed Temple Place, and Globe House now stands on the site of the former offices.
