Christopher Martin Road
The Basildon headquarters of Access, Signet and First Data.
Basildon offices
In the 1980s the main operational headquarters of Access/JCCC/Signet moved to Christopher Martin Road, Basildon. Ilford Photographic had left in 1983, and the site, on the corner of Gardiners Lane and Christopher Martin Road, was large; the building that became Basildon House was converted to offices.

Thanks to Google Earth we can watch how the site developed – and disappeared – from 1999 onwards.
