THE Northern Echo and Darlington & Stockton Times iconic 100-year-old home in the heart of Darlington has been sold for conversion into apartments. The purchaser is Darlington Borough Council, which plans to create an adult skills and training centre on the ground floor with Darlington College, although the council, the Echo and the D&S are exploring ways in which the papers could continue to be based on the corner site. Most of the money for the council s acquisition is coming through the Government s Towns Fund, which aims to create new futures for town centres. Councillor Heather Scott, leader of Darlington Borough Council, said: “The Echo building in Priestgate is one of our town’s most iconic buildings – up there with the clock tower and Victorian covered market in terms of being instantly recognisable to Darlington people.
