The building is a Grade-2 Listed site dating back 200 years. It has previously been used as a hotel and pub, a nightclub and as the home of Leek's Textile Workers Union. The building is so well known that it has been known simply as No. 1, Leek. With its gradual decline its importance to the town has been recognised and efforts are being made to preserve it as an art's centre.
