All Saints Annexe
Imperial War Museums acquired the All Saints Annexe in Austral Street off West Square in 1988. The building backs onto Geraldine Mary Harmsworth Park and was originally an orphanage, later used as a hospital and most recently it housed the IWM Director General, Executive Directors and myriad museum corporate offices and meeting spaces. All Saints was leased to a third party in 2021 with the new tenants investing heavily in the building. Although not listed by Historic England, the building is understood to have ‘protected’ status.
Parkside
The brownfield land adjacent to the All Saints Annexe was developed by IWM to offset the loss of that facility, but also to provide a more appropriate building for use as a creative hub. A new 1100m2 three storey, modular construction building was completed on the site in November 2021 and, the building was occupied from July 2022. The facility is a BREEAM Excellent rated building that is in keeping with the local area and includes a staff café.
