Yes, it’s an interesting place. There is even a website which gives the history of the Forton Services.

I believe it was the inadequate fire escapes though, which caused the tower restaurant to close down.

Stupid health and safety! I would take my chances. We call it "the UFO station".

I heard they would demolish it but it's too close to the motorway to make that possible.

They better not touch it!

Not that it would guarantee its survival, but I understand the tower was granted Grade 2 listing in 2012.
