Littlewoods Pools building, Art Deco building on Edge Lane, Liverpool, United Kingdom
Littlewoods Pools building is an Art Deco structure on Edge Lane in Liverpool with a central clock tower flanked by two long wings ending in matching pavilions. The building underwent conversion into film studios with two new production spaces.
During World War II, the government repurposed the building for postal censorship operations and manufacturing Halifax bomber aircraft components. This wartime conversion defined a significant chapter in the structure's past.
Large art murals added to both pavilions facing Edge Lane in 2016 celebrate Liverpool's creative industry and heritage. These facades reflect the building's connection to the city's artistic identity.
Developers secured funding to transform the building into film studios with new production spaces after it had remained vacant for many years. Access to the site may be limited as the conversion project continues.
A major fire in 2018 damaged the roof and upper floors, yet the building maintained its structural integrity for future development. This resilience proved the strength of the original construction.
