Doing it justice

摘要

Described as a once in a multi-generation opportunity! Treadmills is set to transform North Yorkshire's county town of Northallerton. The £17m development will include shops, an upmarket cinema, restaurants, cafes, homes and a tech hub - all located on the site of Hnglands first purpose-built prison. After the prison closed in 2013, Hambleton District Council put a mastcrplan in place following a major community consultation and then bought the site from the Ministry of Justice in 2015. In 2017 it launched a joint venture- Central Northallerton Development Company - with developer Wykeland Properties and the Treadmills scheme was born. The name relates to the fact that the prison is infamous tor once housing treadmills that were used to punish inmates. But there are also physical reminders of the past in the shape of 18th century listed buildings that will take on an altogether different purpose.
