An iconic Merseyside building is set to become flats and a hairdressers.
The former Beecham building on Westfield Street, St Helens is the former headquarters of the Beecham pharmaceutical giant, once a major St Helens employer. The building dates to the 1880s, and was the first factory in the world built specifically to produce medicine.
Plans were submitted by The Nicholson Group to convert the Grade II listed building into a mixed use development of 18 residential apartments (seven one-bedroom and 11 two-bedroom), a ground floor beauty salon, and offices. The building was previously owned by St Helens College, who sold it in 2019.
