Geocache Description:

This cache is in plain sight, on the perimeter of the Beazer House car park, on the public footpath. Beazer House is an office, so it's a muggle heavy area between the hours of  9 til 5:30.  You are looking for something magnetic, tweezers are needed and definitely bring your own pen!

As suggested by the name of the cache, Beazer House is a building from the 60's with unique architecture - It's very square and it's on stilts. Not the usual Georgian, City of Bath, building but a good view of the trains. 

A little history about the man of Beazer House:

Cyril H Beazer (1908-1983). Cyril started working for his father at the age of 13, but work was scarce and Cyril later moved to Bath to work for local firms, becoming a mason himself and then a general foreman. In partnership with a local businessman who owned a small plot of land, Cyril built two houses and thus began the building business. During the 1930s Cyril employed no more than a few men and, in World War II was mainly involved in war damage repair work in Bath; until 1944 when he and his men were directed to undertake similar work in London.

The early post-war period continued to be dominated by war damage reconstruction in Bath, but the business gradually extended to new build and to the counties around Bath. Reflecting the increased size of the business, it then became listed as a construction company which was incorporated in 1956; Cyril’s eldest son, Ralph, joined as a director and the younger brother Brian became a director in 1960. In the event it was Brian Beazer who took over as managing director in 1968 and it was he who turned this small Bath company into an international construction group.
