From 2000, a number of proposals were developed for the site with AHMM were appointed to masterplan the area in 2002. The site and town centre as a whole has a rich history, transforming from agricultural land to the location of a range of industrial uses such as a Rope Works, R Whites Soft Drinks Factory, and Piano Factory.

As the town centre evolved, this site became the civic heart of the town, holding the Town Baths, The Magistrates Court, and later the Town Hall and the Municipal Library. Phase II included a hotel, retail units, a grand bike shed and 3 residential buildings – Bath House, Lemonade Building and Axe House.
