History

Calcutta House was originally built by Brooke Bond & Co as a tea factory and named after the Indian Port of Calcutta, where most of tea was shipped from. Calcutta House was converted for use by the University in 1975 and since 1992 has been extensively refurbished.

Old Castle Street is infamously linked with a murder in 1889 that was attributed to Jack the Ripper. The incident took place on 17 July in what was then Castle Alley, a passageway between Middlesex Street and Commercial Street.

As well as Calcutta House, the street is also home to The Women's Library.
