Worcester Is A Vibrant City Perched On The Banks Of The River Severn With A Combination Of Past And Present And A Population Of Just Over 100,000. The City Boasts An Eclectic Mix Of Restaurants And Bars Together With An Excellent Retail Offering, Combining High Street Brands With A Diverse Range Of Independent Boutiques.

The Property Encompasses The Former Northwick Cinema Building And Surrounding Car Park And Access Road. The Existing Building Is An Early 20th Century Grade Ii Listed Building Of 1930's Art Deco Architectural Design. The Property Is Of Brick Construction With Exposed Brick Exterior Elevations And Is Surmounted By A Flat Roof To The Front, And By A Pitched Roof To The Remainder. The Land To The Front And The Rear Of The Existing Building Provides Ample Parking. History Grays Of Worcester Is Situated In The Beautifully Restored, Grade Ii Listed Northwick Cinema, A Fine Example Of 1930s Art Deco Architecture. Designed By Charles E. Wilford And Operated By An Independent Exhibitor, The Northwick Began Its Life In 1938 As A Theatre But Was Soon Converted For Use As A 1000+ Capacity Cinema. The Exterior Of The Building Features The Original Brick Front Façade, The Central Feature Of Which Is The Stylish Vertical Name Sign, The Distinctive 'northwick'; But This Scarcely Gives A Hint To The Remarkable Original Interior Which Followed Plans By The Art Deco Interior Designer John Alexander. The Only Surviving Complete And Unaltered Example Of His Work, The Interior Features Stunning Relief Plasterwork, 1930s Light Fittings And Many Other Original Decorative Features. On 10th September 1966, After Nearly 25 Years As A Picture House, The Northwick Closed As A Cinema With Dean Martin In The Silencers And Audie Murphy In Arizona Raiders. The Building Changed Hands And Reopened A Fortnight Later As A Bingo Hall. It Was Used In This Way Until 1982. The Building Reopened In 1991 As An Entertainment Centre, Hosting Live Music And Sometimes Showing Films. This Venture Lasted For 5 Years. David And Helen Gray Purchased The Northwick In 2004 And Immediately Began Extensive Restoration Works To Return The Building To Its Original Glory. After 18 Months Of Restoration, The Northwick Reopened As Grays Of Worcester, Which It Has Been Trading As To Date. Planning The Site Sits Within The Northwick Neighbourhood Shopping Centre Designation, And As Such Is Subject To The Following Sub-sections Of Swdp Policy 10, Which Will Be Of Importance To Prospective Buyers: G.
