- Conversion of former Kays of Worcester headquarters
- In 1889, William Kilbourne Kay, formed the catalogue company, Kays of Worcester. This became known as “Kay’s Universal Stores” in the early 1890s. Kay & Co. Ltd. was based for many years
in the purpose built premises, known as St. Oswald’s
- This building William Kilbourne Kay had built specifically to house the company’s operations from 1908 onwards. Built to his specification, it was considered a very modern building as it had central heating, electric lifts and its own telephone system
- A mixed use conversion of the redundant premises, this listed Arts and Crafts Building provides
24 quality apartments. A multi-level top-lit ‘street’ provides access. Employment and commercial
uses open out to the front, on to the Tything
