I’m delighted we have been able to breathe new life into this amazing space, which is the size of an acre.

"Built originally in only four months, it stayed standing for more than a century, an amazing feat of engineering and construction. It is fitting that we can bring it back into productive economic use, as a beacon for business recovery and inspiring the next generation of entrepreneurs”
