The iconic hydraulic tower at Wirral Waters is set to become a world-class maritime hub, bringing jobs and investment to the area.
Artist s impression of the restored tower and Maritime Knowledge Hub A WIRRAL landmark is a step closer to being restored to its former glory and transformed into a specialist maritime centre under plans agreed by councillors. The iconic 19th century Grade 2 listed Hydraulic Tower building, a copy of the Palazzo Vecchio in Florence, had been left unused for decades at the Four Bridges but is now moving ahead with being brought back to life as the Maritime Knowledge Hub. The Economy, Regeneration and Development Committee agreed to recommend the Wirral Waters Investment Fund be approved for investment into the Maritime Knowledge Hub and another key Wirral Waters scheme, Egerton Village, which will include retail to support the emerging residential developments nearby plus a new square with an events programme as well as managed workspace and studios and potentially a restaurant.
