According to the estate agent, the building has been "painstakingly transformed into an extraordinary residence" while preserving its original Victorian charm.
The brickwork has been cleaned and damaged terracotta mouldings have been rebuilt.

The estate agent says the tower was once topped with a lead-lined cast-iron tank, but this has been replaced by a glass viewing deck.
The deck features a glass-walled sitting room and a wraparound balcony, which the agent says offers "breathtaking 360-degree views of London".

The current arrangement, as described by the estate agent, places bedrooms on the third, fourth, and sixth floors, with a bathroom on the fifth, a kitchen on the seventh, and a boiler room on the eighth.
The top floor is dedicated to the observation deck.

At the base of the tower is a two-storey pavilion constructed from glass and steel.
The pavilion's ground floor has an open-plan layout, with a kitchen and a living/dining space that is described as "light-filled".
Upstairs, there are two double bedrooms—one with a four-piece ensuite bathroom—a separate shower room, and a utility room.

A covered bridge connects the pavilion to the main tower, creating what the estate agent calls a "remarkable transition between the old and the new".
Gated parking is available at the rear of the property, leading onto landscaped gardens that wrap around the building.
The estate agent says the home "looks out over Woolwich Common and as a result, feels almost rural", despite its urban location.
Transport links are described by the agent as "very well connected", with the DLR from Woolwich Arsenal providing access to Canary Wharf and Bank.
The new Elizabeth Line from Woolwich offers routes to Liverpool Street, Paddington, and Bond Street.
The area's position between Greenwich, Woolwich, and Blackheath means there are independent shops and various places to eat nearby.
The property has attracted media attention and, according to the estate agent, has been featured in TV shows and publications such as The Architects Journal, Building Design, The Evening Standard, Time Out, and The Times.
The estate agent describes the home as "a left-field choice" and suggests that a "head for heights" is needed to enjoy the observation deck.
The property is offered as a freehold, with an EPC rating of D.
Interested parties are invited to arrange a private viewing through Tanya Baker & Co.

Villagers win race to save UK pub, as thousands close
A nearly 200-year-old pub, the Radnor Arms in rural Wales stood abandoned a few years ago. Water ran down the walls, ivy crept around broken windows and rats' skeletons littered the floor. Fast forward to 2025 and laughter rings out of the newly reopened watering hole after locals clubbed together to save it. The pub, which first opened in the 1830s, is one of tens of thousands across the UK forced to call last orders over recent years. Once the heart of the village, the Radnor Arms -- which had become uneconomic due to rising costs -- was shut by the landlord in 2016 and quickly fell into ruin. For locals in the picturesque south Wales village of New Radnor, population 438, the demise of their only remaining hostelry was devastating. Over the years, there were around six or more pubs or ale houses in the village. By 2012, all except the Radnor Arms had shut down. "It was the heart of the village," said David Pyle, a 57-year-old retired psychiatrist who has lived next door to the pub for the past 18 years. "Sometimes you could hear a bit of hubbub, sometimes you'd hear a roar go up when Wales scored, or a male voice choir singing in the back bar," he told AFP. "It was just lovely," he said. "And then it closed." - British tradition - UK pubs, a quintessential cornerstone of community life, are increasingly under threat. Faced with changing drinking habits and spiralling bills, more than a quarter of the 60,800 in existence in 2000 have closed their doors in the past 25 years. Of the 45,000 still operating at the end of last year, 378 -- at least one a day -- are expected to close this year, according to the British Beer and Pub Association (BBPA). The loss of Radnor Arms in 2016 left the village without a focal point, hitting everyone from hobby groups to local hill farmers who would meet there after work for a pint of beer and a chat. "It was the heart of the community. It was a place where anybody could come in," said Sue Norton, one of a team of locals who banded together to save it. "We celebrated births, deaths and marriages here. So for us, it was very emotional when it closed," she said. Vowing to rescue it, Norton and other villagers applied to a government scheme aimed at giving people the financial firepower to take ownership of pubs or shops at risk of being lost. A major fundraising effort last year drummed up £200,000 ($271,000), which was matched by the community ownership fund and boosted by an additional £40,000 government grant. With £440,000 in the kitty, the villagers were able to buy, refurbish and re-open the pub, relying on a rota of volunteers to work behind the bar rather than paid staff. Ukrainian refugee Eugene Marchenko, a 44-year-old lawyer who is one of the volunteers, says the pub helped him meet practically everyone within days of arriving. Marchenko, from the central Ukrainian city of Dnipro, is being hosted by a villager along with his wife and teenage son. He said he quickly came to understand the importance of having a place in the village for "drinking and having fun together". "I read in books that the pub was a famous British tradition, but I can feel it myself... It's not just about the drinking alcohol, it's about the sharing and everybody knows each other," he said. - Lifeline axed - The previous Conservative government launched the community ownership fund in 2021. Under the scheme locals have successfully saved around 55 pubs, according to the community ownership charity Plunkett UK. The pubs are run democratically on a one-member, one-vote basis by those who contributed to the fundraiser. But the new Labour government, which took power a year ago, dropped the scheme in December as they sought to meet competing funding demands. Villagers in New Radnor are relieved to have got their application in under the wire but saddened that other communities will not benefit. For now they are planning to make the most of their new community hub. There are plans to host a range of activities -- from mother-and-baby mornings to a dementia group that aims to trigger memories through familiar sights and sounds. Sufferers and their carers could come and have a "drink or a bag of crisps -- or a pickled onion, if people like those," Norton said. har/jkb/js/tc

CEO TALKS: Tim Little of Grenson on the Power of Retail, Potential Investors and Keeping a Heritage Footwear Brand Alive
LONDON — The British brand Grenson is one of the few traditional shoemakers left in the U.K. and it has survived the stormy weathers of an industry that's become perpetually saturated. As the brand prepares to celebrate its 160th anniversary next year, chief executive officer and creative director Tim Little has been oiling the machines, from a rigorous retail strategy to concise wholesale model. Since joining the business in 2005, Grenson has sold more than a million shoes and projected approximately 10 million pounds in revenue with a 15 percent growth year-on-year. More from WWD Boots to Open Stand-alone Fragrance Store The Nomasei Loafers Loved by Bella Hadid, Nicole Kidman, and Blake Lively Are Finally Back in Stock White House Confirms 19 Percent Shoe Tariff Rate With Indonesia: Are China, EU, Cambodia Next? Wholesale makes up 20 percent of the business, while retail accounts for 20 percent and e-commerce trumps both, at 60 percent. A large number of Grenson's business comes from the U.K., in cities such as London, Birmingham, Manchester, Leeds and Glasgow. North America is the brand's second largest market, followed by Europe and Japan. 'One thing that I'm disappointed in since I took over the business is that I haven't been able to do more in Japan, maybe because we haven't focused enough on it,' Little said. 'But America has become a big and very important market for us.' Little started pulling back Grenson's distribution after the complexities of the COVID-19 pandemic. The brand now works with a handful of stockists including Harrods, Selfridges, Liberty and Mr Porter. Despite Grenson's rich history, its core demographic of 35- to 50-year-olds is still fairly young and hasn't been afraid to experiment with new ideas — the brand introduced a women's collection in 2011 and collaborated with fashion companies ranging from Craig Green, Emilia Wickstead and Belstaff to YMC. Here, Little talks about keeping a heritage brand alive, why retail is gold for Grenson and his decision to finally take calls from potential investors. WWD: What made you join Grenson in 2005? Tim Little: I had my own brand called Tim Little and we had a shop on the King's Road. I used to sell to Harrods and Selfridges. When the son of the previous owner of Grenson took over the business from his father, the business was struggling really badly. He asked me if I'd come in and get involved to try and turn it around. WWD: What role did you take on at the brand? T.L.: I came on as CEO from Day One and the really big dilemma for me was leaving my own brand behind — but I didn't. I ran the two side by side. My brand was fairly small and easy to manage, but I cut it right back and I stopped doing wholesale. I fell in love with Grenson as soon as I got there. WWD: When did you close your brand? T.L.: It wasn't until COVID-19 because the Grenson showroom was above my store, where I had a manager and would see customers. Once the pandemic hit, it made it impossible and I thought it was the right time to call it quits. It felt absolutely right to focus on Grenson and maybe come back to do shoes with my name on them some other time. It was a big decision and I should have made it quite a few years before, to be honest. WWD: You purchased Grenson in 2010, what did you see in the brand to take this big step? T.L.: All of the stuff that was already there when I joined in 2005: the heritage, the people, the history and products. Over my [first] five-year period, we put in products that made the brand more contemporary. By 2010, the brand's owner wanted to sell the brand. We had redone the tone of voice for Grenson and changed the collections completely. I just thought, I've done five years of hard work here to get it to a position where we married this lovely heritage with a modern attitude and business principles — I don't want to walk away from that now. I would have had to prepare the business for a sale and in a way, he had left me alone to run the business. So I asked him if he would sell it to me if I could afford it. It wasn't easy, but we worked out a way of doing it, which was based on him helping me to buy the business. And it meant he didn't have to go into a big process because I knew the business really well. WWD: What were the big changes that you made in the first five years as CEO? T.L.: The most important thing was overriding the culture, which was just about manufacturing shoes and not connecting with the rest of the world. I wanted the culture to become: What do people want? What are people wearing? What are they looking for? What do they want the brand to be? How do you tell the story? Within the collections, it was about revamping everything and keeping probably five or six styles that were traditional. We created collections that looked at different shapes, patterns and materials, which made it relevant to buyers from department stores. After getting the shoes right, we thought about how to tell the story of the brand. We're not a museum of footwear and we're not going to have hundreds of pictures of old men with little half moon glasses knocking nails into the shoe all the time. WWD: Were you prepared for the role of a CEO? And what's your leadership style? T.L.: At Grenson, we do manufacturing, marketing and sourcing, whereas my own business was much simpler. I had to deal with the sales and marketing teams in London, but at the same time, I had to work with people on the other end of the scale in the factory with completely different types of attitudes and outlooks. Managing all these different types of personalities was an enormous challenge for me at the beginning. I believe in a big way in delegating, but before you can delegate properly, you've got to have the right people in the right jobs and you've got to always play to people's strengths. In a lot of businesses, they tend to force people to do things that they're not particularly good at or don't enjoy. But with that comes a responsibility of listening to people and looking out for what their issues are. WWD: What are the pros and cons of owning a brand? T.L.: The pros are control over the vision of what you want to do without having to explain it because it's not until you actually do it and get it out there that you can see what you had in your mind. Being the brand owner, you can just go straight to that point and if it's wrong, we tried it anyway as opposed to having to always persuade a committee of people before you can do anything. Everything's much quicker when you don't have to report upward. A brand like us has to be fast moving because it's the only chance we've got against the big brands. The downside is the level of responsibility that you feel toward people because they've got families and mortgages. They've got a whole life that relies on this business to a certain extent and they rely on me running the business properly so it doesn't go bust. There's also all the classic stuff about money. You have to deal with the bank manager and all the stress of cash flow and people's salaries. WWD: Have you ever considered partnering with external investors to scale the business? T.L.: We have always been 100 percent independent but often get approached by potential investors. This year for the first time I have decided to start talking to people in case there is a perfect partner to help us fulfill our true potential. I've always wondered how much more we could achieve if we were part of something bigger and had more support. WWD: The shoemaking and footwear market has become so saturated, how do you maintain your position without straying away from the heritage? T.L.: It is much more difficult than when I first started in shoes when a lot of the big brands didn't really have big shoe collections. They'd have a few here and there that just complemented the clothing collections. Now couture houses are recognized for their shoes more than anything else. The whole market is completely saturated and to stay ahead all the time, you have to constantly be relevant, make noise and create a story. At Grenson, we're not just selling a pair of shoes to somebody, we're creating and selling stories about the type of shoe, the leather and where that came from our archive. WWD: How much of your time is spent designing shoes and being creative versus running a business and dealing with numbers? T.L.: Not enough, and that's my big bugbear. Although I love business and I read a lot of articles about businesses and how they're run, I would like more time on the creative side. I spend 15 to 20 percent of the time working on the collections and the rest of the time on the business side, but I've got a very good team that I've worked together with for a long time now. When I have a thought or an idea, they're very good at interpreting that. WWD: Do you enjoy making traditional shoes or trainers more? T.L.: I love all of them, but I absolutely love trainers. In my previous life before shoes, I was in advertising and I ran Adidas advertising for four or five years. The Gazelle is one of my favorite shoes of all time. WWD: How do you maintain creativity without getting in over your head, and how do you stay disciplined? T.L.: Every business is the same, where the designer has an idea for something that they think is the most incredible thing in the world, but it has to be commercial and it has to sell, otherwise the business won't survive. As I run the business, I have the commercial side in my head more than most designers would. The deciding factor is about what's right for the brand and if a shoe feels like Grenson. The discipline comes back to the responsibility that if it doesn't work — and there's all this competition out there that's hard to keep up with — then it's a disaster. It comes from looking at the numbers all the time and seeing what's selling, but also pushing against the business because I know what happens if you stall the creativity in any way — the business becomes very boring very quickly in a way that it didn't used to in the old days because of social media and all this communication. WWD: How did you propel Grenson into wholesale and what approach did you take? T.L.: When I got to the brand, I asked the sales director at the time to give me a list of all the stockists. I went through it and said, 'This isn't complete, there is nothing in London.' He told me our only stockist in the city was a shoe repair shop. The first thing we did was to sell to Selfridges, Harrods and Liberty. I felt it's really important to have a physical presence in London to have real credibility, and London does drive the market. WWD: How has your own retail presence expanded since then? T.L.: We had a store in Soho and another on Liverpool Street, Hanbury Street in Spitalfields and Lamb's Conduit Street. We closed the stores in Soho and Liverpool Street during COVID-19, but we opened a Soho store on the same street — Meard Street — last year. I'm looking for more stores because retail really bounced back for us in a big way. Over the last 18 months, retail has been really, really strong and it's growing. WWD: What's a key factor in the Grenson retail experience? T.L.: There needs to be an atmosphere in the store so people are happy to stay and spend time because it's one thing you can do in store that you can't do online: sit down, try things on and ask questions. What I don't like is when you go into a store and they want to sell you something and get you out. The people in the store need to be knowledgeable. It's a product you're spending a lot of money on so you need to feel comfortable that that money is well spent. WWD: Who are your mentors in business? T.L.: Paul Smith [is one of them] because he comes from a village about two miles from where I come from in Nottingham. He's always been really good to me and really supportive. Outside of fashion, I'm obsessed with Steve Jobs and his creativity and drive. WWD: Do you have any business mantras? T.L.: I have a life and business mantra, which is just keep going. If you've got the right principles and you're on the right track, just keep getting up every Monday morning, come into work and get on with it. Do it again and again — it works and it's hard, but it's the only way you know. WWD: What do you do during your spare time? T.L.: I love London because of all the shows and galleries. My wife and I are constantly trawling through the papers for what's on. We've also got a place in the countryside and that's a completely different thing — [sometimes we sit by] a fire or walk by the river. I'm also a big football fan. I support a team called Derby County, which is a bit embarrassing, but my son and I are season ticket holders, so we get the train to Derby every two weeks. WWD: Does he work in the family business? T.L.: He does at the moment because he wants to be an actor and a writer. He's working in the Hanbury Street store. I've told his boss to treat him like anybody else, or even be harder on him. Outside of work, he's a normal 24-year-old in many ways, but at work he feels quite invested because it's important to him because it's a family [business] and he's grown up with it. He tells customers about the behind-the-scenes story of the shoes. He will say stuff like, 'This shoe came about because Tim Little was on holiday and he saw this old Spanish shoe on a beach and he picked it up.' He tells those stories because he feels quite engaged [with the brand and business].

Funding secures Iron Age Melsonby Hoard for the nation
A groundbreaking discovery of Iron Age artefacts found by a metal detectorist has been saved for the UK. The Yorkshire Museum has received £192,096 from the National Heritage Memorial Fund, along with public donations, to acquire the Melsonby Hoard, which dates back 2,000 years. Discovered in a farmer's field near the North Yorkshire village in 2021, the site gave up more than 800 Iron Age artefacts including chariot wheels, cauldrons and horse bridles. The variety of objects led archaeologists to make important breakthroughs in their understanding of Iron Age society, including how power and wealth were not exclusively held in the South. Detectorist Peter Heads made the find and reported it to the proper authorities, and a team of Durham University archaeologists, with advice from the British Museum, took great care to excavate the hoard from two ditches. Thanks to the National Memorial Fund, a public crowdfunder and other donations, the find has been secured by the Yorkshire Museum, based in York. This will allow more research, conservation and analytical work to be carried out. Kathryn Blacker, chief executive of York Museums Trust, said: 'Thanks to the incredible support of the National Heritage Memorial Fund, as well as generous donations from members of the public, the hoard will remain here in Yorkshire, to be made available for everyone to see and to enjoy. 'We remain committed to researching and conserving these unprecedented finds to improve our understanding of our shared past and securing them for future generations.' Simon Thurley, chairman of the National Heritage Memorial Fund, said: 'The Melsonby Hoard throws bright new light on Iron Age life in Yorkshire and beyond. 'We are pleased to support this acquisition which will keep the hoard intact, in the county in which it was buried and enable research to take place to gain a deeper insight into its origin and history. 'The memorial fund exists to save the UK's most outstanding heritage and make it publicly accessible, in memory of those who have given their lives for the UK. 'We are delighted to count the Melsonby Hoard as part of the growing and timeless collection of UK heritage that belongs to all of us forever.'
