The Rycroft Building (Spracklingbank)

Description

The Rycroft Building, home to the local BBC affiliate pre-outbreak, is now being used as a safehouse for revivers from the next-door revive point Eastwick Drive.

History

The Rycroft Building, named for one of Malton's first mayors, James Rycroft, was built in Spracklingbank in 1952. The architect, Vaughan Architectural Design, filed for bankruptcy in 1967 after several of their buildings collapsed due to faulty design. Rycroft was abandoned, like many other of Vaughan's buildings, during this scare, and it sat vacant until 1986, when the BBC bought the building and renovated it extensively, eliminating the design flaws. The BBC owned this building until the outbreak, when it was abandoned once more.
