The Grade II listed building is currently being converted into flats
These images show how a once grand building which employed hundreds of people had deteriorated, but plans are in place to save the building.Today, the land has been developed into housing which complement the 1930s structure and permission has been granted to turn the main building into flats and offices. The developers, Clayson Country Homes, have secured listed building consent to bring the site back to life.
