The Hoover Building was designed for the Hoover Company by the celebrated art-deco architectural practice Wallis, Gilbert & Partners. Completed in 1932, it was originally commissioned as a factory complex with production, storage and repairs at ground floor level and offices above. Listed in 1980, the Grade II building was in use until the late 1980’s. The original production area is now converted into a Tesco superstore and the Hoover Building to the front is effectively self-contained. The extensive art-deco features on the exterior and in the common parts have been carefully restored.
