Construction site of proposed Defence Business Services offices in Blackpool Talbot Gateway. The photograph shows multi-storey steel and concrete office frame with scaffolding, glazing and site fencing. The subject is located at Talbot Gateway, Talbot Road, Blackpool, Lancashire, UK. The council announced construction in May 2025. The partly completed multi-storey building has exposed floor levels, structural members and temporary perimeter hoarding. The photograph records the construction phase before the finished cladding and occupation. The building frame shows multiple floors, temporary construction access, exposed structural elements and glass sections being installed. Hoardings and perimeter fencing separate the work site from pedestrians and road traffic in Talbot Gateway. The project is the planned new Ministry of Defence office for Defence Business Services, part of public-sector redevelopment close to Blackpool North station.
