Hopes remain that work could soon start on the former Littlewoods building which has been earmarked as the central piece of a new multi million film studios development.
In November 2021, plans were revealed which would look to transform the former Littlewoods building on Edge Lane into one of the largest TV and film studios in the UK. The £70m plan has been backed by Liverpool City Council and the City Region combined authority and requires additional private investment to deliver the full project.
As well as creating major studios, there are plans for new creative office space and new media facilities at the site. The former art-deco HQ of the Littlewoods empire has been vacant for decades and is in a state of severe dilapidation, including fire damage in 2018.
