The former football pools building is being turned into a campus of film and TV studios
An operator is reportedly in advanced talks to take over Liverpool's iconic Littlewoods site once it is converted into a campus of film and TV studios.
After many false dawns, the Littlewoods project finally saw progress when C&C began remediation works on the Edge Lane site in December. The firm is now in talks with operators to run it once it has been completed. The structure was devastated by a huge fire in 2018, while years of vandalism and urban decay have taken their toll. The site was acquired by C&C in the same year as the fire and plans were announced to regenerate the site.
Computer generated images show the extent of the site and how it could look when completed. As well as the studios, the campus would also be home to studio support, education facilities, a roof garden and a multi-purpose screening and performance zone, featuring five small format cinema screens, an outdoor performance space and permanent foodhall.
