Baskerville House is soon to be redeveloped
into a hotel with council departments likely to move across the road to
Alpha Tower. This building borders Centenary Square and is close
to the site of the Easy Hill the residence of John Baskerville, an 18th
century industrialist perhaps now best remembered for his Baskerville
type face. A bronze and Portland stone sculpture, Industry and Genius
(1990), in front of Baskerville House reminds visitors of the
typeface.
