After standing empty for more than a decade and getting badly damaged in a huge fire, the former Wesley Chapel will be brought back to life when it is transformed into a boutique hotel.
The renovation is part of a £4.1m scheme delivered by Hartlepool Borough Council and property developer Jomast.
The Mail was granted access inside the derelict building – which has also housed a nightclub, bar and gym – as it prepared to start a new chapter in its history.
Now enjoy the pictures our audio visual editor Frank Reid captured inside the building.
