A transformed Mortimer’s Warehouse would provide the community with a new visitor attraction where people can learn about the history and heritage of Driffield Canal and engage with it. The new centre would help to raise the profile of the waterway and the town of Driffield, and celebrate their connections to the region’s maritime and industrial past.

Mortimer’s could also be a place where people can come together, reminisce and enjoy the benefits of being by water. As a visitor attraction, it has the potential to bring vitality to one of the town’s priority regeneration locations and add value to the East Riding’s culture and tourism offer.
