The Grade II listed West Haven Maltings site, in the North East Lincolnshire port town, is on Historic England’s ‘at risk’ register, which describes the former riverside granary warehouses as “in particularly poor condition”.
Originally built from the 1820s, the site has since fallen into disrepair after being hit by several arson attacks over the last 20 years.
Following the National Lottery Heritage Fund grant it is to be turned into the home of Horizon Youth Zone, a project being developed by the charity Onside, which already has 14 youth zones nationwide.
The complex will support 5,000 young people and includes a sports hall, fitness suite, music studio, art room, boxing gym, café as well as a teaching kitchen and space for enterprise training.
