Goods Yard £16 million regeneration
The Goods Yard in Stoke-on-Trent, a former industrial site, has fallen into disrepair in recent years. The nineteenth century warehouse will be transformed using a £16 million award from the Levelling Up Fund.
Goods Yard Living
Above ground, the Goods Yard Living project will create:
- 174 New York style apartments
- residents’ gardens
- a bike repair shop
- gym space
Below ground, the building will be converted into the Vaults Warehouse, a new work and event space in the vaulted cellars. Outside, the old derelict signal box will be converted into a café-bar. The Pavilion will become a new space for work and leisure.
A new canal-side jetty for boats will also be created. In the future, there are plans for:
- a seated garden space for events
- a 150-bed hotel
Councillor Abi Brown, leader of Stoke-on-Trent City Council said:
It was fantastic to see this hugely prominent site at a key gateway into Stoke-on-Trent receiving planning approval, with work now well underway to transform the Goods Yard, all ahead of the city receiving an HS2 service. We’ve worked hard to bring this development forward quickly, with an exciting range of opportunities that appeal to residents, businesses and visitors to the city. It builds on other recent landmark developments such as Clayworks and the Smithfield Works concept in the city centre, as well as the increasing prominence of our canal network through the city.
