This is what part of the housing project could look like. Credit: Torus Work on a major Wirral housing scheme has begun, despite a fire ripping through part of the site last year. In March 2020, just before the first national lockdown started, a large blaze damaged 20% of Ravenswood House, a Grade II listed building which formed part of the former Rock Ferry High School site. But just over a year later affordable housing developer Torus has officially started work on a £30m scheme which will see 186 homes built on the site. The fire damage has been fully assessed and costs for dealing with it have been factored in to the works.

Bristol s Tobacco Factory Market announces plans to return
It attracts visitors from all over the city
Updated
One of Bristol s most popular weekly markets has announced plans to return.
The Tobacco Factory s Sunday market attracts people from all over the city thanks to its tempting selection of street food traders and independent retailers.
It s made even more popular by the fact it is held in the car park of the Tobacco Factory s much loved cafe-bar, which serves beers from some of Bristol s top breweries and a delicious food menu.
The Southville market has not taken place since January 3 as its organisers decided not to run it throughout the third national lockdown - but it will return next month, on April 18.
