A new era awaits the grade two star-listed educational facility, with owner The Harris Investment Group outlining its plans to reinvent the historic site.

The city council is set to sign off three large projects at its planning committee meeting on Thursday, including the residential conversion of the former Preston Catholic College’s sixth form centre.
