Andrew Piggott, 7N Architects, worked with Lynne Russell, to explore how to make worthwhile use of derelict buildings. The proposal incorporates a proposed brand created by Beautiful Materials.

Bruce Street transformation continues with shop front art

The window displays follow the installation of a Bobbin Canopy – a sky of lights and bobbins, cylinders used to hold thread – to recognise the street s weaving history.
One of the shopfront displays unveiled already, at number nine, celebrates artist Andrew Blair, who lived and worked in the street in the mid-19th century. ....
