Wakefield’s Tileyard North is the latest attempt to harness the creative economy as a driver of regeneration, transforming the long-derelict Rutland Mills into a major cultural hub. For City & Provincial, Tileyard North was the culmination of a long search for a northern counterpart to its successful London music-industry campus. Tileyard North sits slightly outside Wakefield’s town centre, but its location is key to its success. Birchall acknowledges that, while Tileyard North is already thriving, it must continue to embed itself in the wider economy. The question now is whether Tileyard North can actually serve as a catalyst for that broader regeneration.
