Barclays House, Serpentine Road, Poole, 08/07/1975. The headquarter offices for Barclays International in Poole, viewed from the south-east. Laing's South West Region were contracted to construct new headquarter offices for Barclays Bank International in Poole, Dorset. Construction began in September 1972 and the work was completed less than three years later in June 1975. The new office complex was intended to partly de-centralise London based offices to offset rising costs, in addition to creating new jobs in the local area.
