She fell in love with the building and started to photograph it regularly as it was transformed. SEE ALSOYou are in: Tyne > Places > Places galleries > Transforming Baltic Baltic Flour MillsBaltic Flour Mills was opened in 1950 by Rank Hovis, though the building was designed in the 1930s. It was probably named after the Baltic Sea as other Rank Hovis mills had similar names - like Solent Mill and Atlantic Mill. At its height the mill employed around 300 people. Around 100 were employed when it closed in 1982. The old silo building, where wheat was stored before processing, was converted into the Baltic Centre for Contemporary Art. Work on the conversion began in 1998 and Baltic opened to the public in 2002. The Arts Council gave the project 拢33.4m plus 拢1.5m a year for five years for running costs. The building is 42m high, 24m wide and 52m in length. |
