North section of BP House
The Univac 1006 was installed on the 1st floor of this part of BP House.
The building in the background was occupied by Robert McAlpine.

BP House - old building
In the foreground - the water gardens and the circular car park. Looking down at the car park from above you went up clockwise and came down to the exit anti-clockwise. The bridge at the top which you drove across to make your way down was the source of many scraped cars!

The Waggon and Horse was to the left of this view.

BP House gardens
Gardens at the rear of the new building, constructed over the computer halls.
I can remember that before the gardens were laid the water proofing was tested by flooding this area making it in to a giant pond.

£6M OVERHAUL FOR BREAKSPEAR PARK
Published on Wednesday 23 August 2006 in The Gazette
Giant office block Breakspear Park will be getting a £6 million revamp to put it on the business map.
The landmark building, at the gateway to Hemel Hempstead in Breakspear Way, has recently changed hands and the new owners plan an overhaul.
A new cafe will be built in the reception area, which will be moved to a more central and welcoming position.
Offices and common areas will get a facelift while the building's sign will get a new logo.
Business consultants Hewitt Associates and oil company BP are already tenants in the building while just over 100,000 sq ft of office space is up for grabs.
Graham Ricketts, of letting agents Brasier Harris, said they wanted to create a 'buzz' in the scheme.
"We are trying to appeal to local companies who might not associate themselves with the building at the moment," he said.
