    • There is already talk about a suspended development on the site,becoming a warehouse, my experience of other uses for this type of structure,is there isn’t one, they are built to house a specific need and tailored to the specific requirements,also when this was built,asbestos would have been used extensively so its a contaminated building when alterations come into play,is my guess.
