I used to live in Alexandra Works (the big UNITE student building right next to the Telewest building) from Sep 06 to May-ish 07, and always wondered exactly what it was.

It was, as far as I can remember, still in use but *did* have a big board up advertising the space (although how much I can't remember). It certainly wasn't being used as a call centre though, there simply wasn't the traffic, just a few TW vans from what I can remember.

It could be the headend, but that's just a guess. I have no idea how big a building would be required, or where they're usually situated. For what it's worth, the site *is* fairly close to the centre of Plymouth (although definitely not a 10-15 minute walk, as UNITE would have you believe!).
