Photos show derelict tower as developers wait for £25m greenlight

New images show the inside of an historic tower as developers prepare for a £25m development to get the go-ahead.

The Central Hydraulic Tower is where developer Peel L&P is hoping to build a new research hub focused on making the maritime industry more environmentally friendly. The Maritime Knowledge Hub, which will cost £25m, would see the derelict building transformed into a hub for education, research and training complete with a café, work and lab space.

It’s expected to help create over 4,000 jobs as well as new training opportunities in supporting the regional maritime economy and is one of many projects Peel are investing in in Birkenhead.
