I can confirm that as of 25 July 2016 Her Majesty's Revenue & Customs (previously called Inland Revenue until 2005) still occupy what is known as Grayfield House on Bankhead Avenue. It is only in recent years that the building acquired a name. I became my career there in 1969. The building was originally designed as a hospital at the end of WW2 but never used as such |
