Inside landmark Littlewoods building transformation
The landmark Liverpool building is set to become a film and TV studio production hub
- Published
Work to turn a landmark Liverpool building into a major film studios is continuing apace.
The Littlewoods building on Edge Lane has been derelict for 30 years and was nearly destroyed by a fire in 2018.
Metro Mayor Steve Rotheram wants to transform the former Pools building into "the Hollywood of the north" and for it to become "the epicentre of everything film-wise in the UK".
Work to take down and rebuild the building’s famous but structurally unsafe clock tower has already begun.
It is hoped the site - which will include film production sound stages, studios, office and training space - will create hundreds of jobs for people on Merseyside and beyond.
