The Printworks

The Printworks

The Printworks, located on Claypath in Durham, was originally an industrial facility. Ward Group Investments acquired the vacant factory in the heart of Durham City and transformed it into a mixed-use development. The conversion resulted in a 70+ bed student complex and four townhouses, blending modern living spaces with the building’s industrial heritage.

Claypath itself is a historic street in Durham, serving as the main easterly road out of the city towards Sunderland and the coast. The name “Claypath” is believed to derive from “Clayport,” one of the exits from the city’s outer defensive walls. The street ascends to the summit of the hill, where it changes to Gilesgate.
