  • Here is my first episode of the regeneration project at The Littlewoods Building in Liverpool.
    The building is being developed in to a large studio for film and television.
    It is going to be a fantastic project to follow and I will look to get here once a month to begin with.
    I hope you enjoy the video and the facts & history I have shared about it.

    Considering its original purpose it's a splendid piece of architecture, and good to hear that it has held together well enough to proceed with restoration and adaptation. Thank you for introducing us to this project. Looking forward to your coverage.

    My work have just relocated from the Innovation Park opposite, to a new office in town. I remember taking a photo of of the building on my way into work the day before the fire and thinking it's an amazing site if someone just invested in it. Don't know why I stopped to take a photo tbh, it could be the last one taken before the fire come to think of it. Made up it's finally started!

    Great shout Nick this should be one hell of a project. As you said it won’t be completed over night and will need a lot more than the 11 million grant allocated to this beautiful building. Like all your previous comments I will also watch each update just like I’ve watched all updates on our new ground.

    Outside of London there are more television programs and major movies that are filmed in Liverpool than any other city in the UK but despite being a great location it's only the actual filming that takes place in the city. The editing and processing as well as studio shooting is all done elsewhere. The crux of this development is to provide not only indoor studios to compliment all outside location filming but also to provide world class editing and processing facilities as well. It's an expensive and hugely ambitious project but one that could reap substantial rewards for the city and put us firmly on the map as a world leader in the television and film industry.

    Great video Nick as always and I've noticed at the Everton Stadium when they are starting to put up the barrel cladding on the North East Corner there are gaps at the top and the bottom of the first section of cladding, how are they going to fix it

    Had this been in a city at the other end of the ELR..this project would have been up and running years ago....a bleak but true fact

    Liverpool's 3rd cathedral. It should be kept because of its history.

    Looks like the roof was corrugated asbestos cement sheets, a very tricky clean up. At 2:45 you can see a guy in all white (protective overalls) on a scissor lift taking some panels down from a small section of the roof of some sort of loading bay.

    I remember doing the Littlewoods Pools back in the day. The Lottery drove them out of business.

    Good luck with that Nick i can see you retired before this project is finished, you see the problem is 20000 sq ft is only the central part of the building Morden technology CGI ect doesn't require the vast amount of space that the East and West wings offer in the plans only the 1950,s central portion will be used for studio space the rest they're hoping to sell off for a hotel and conversion into flats ect but can you imagine the planning head ache to get those proposals for a grade 2 listed building approved Capita Centric are leading everyone on here, i believe. The remedial works you mention are being paid for by the liverpool city region and Capita have yet to put anything in the pot so far apart maybe from paying of some arsonist to burn the thing down then re develope the land after the building was demolished as a dangerous structure... This is the tried and trusted method of property developers and thankfully it failed with this fantastic building.. So what to do with the rest of the building its a vast space isn't it, I remember liverpool had a large objects museum in Princess dock shed a transport museum maybe or even a theatre, but as i said its going to take a long time to adapt.. It took battersea power station 40 years to be re purposed and thats in loads of money London, but keep going its good to see you taking an interest in it.. Well done

    I think the council will lose a lot of money
