The new-look to the apartment block planned for the junction of Mount Street and Garden Street, near Winckley Square

It is almost six years since a blueprint for the building - on the corner of Mount Street and Garden Street - was given the green light by Preston City Council.

The plan was to create a development of 47 flats on land that was, at that time, occupied by a disused sports hall.
