Ice house and art deco cinema among buildings to get £12.2m in lottery grants

Other sites to be restored include Cardiff’s Victorian market, Lowestoft town hall and a lochside church

A 19th-century thatched ice house that was an important staging post for fish between the sea and the nation’s stomachs is to be transformed into a circus training centre.

The quayside Grade II-listed Great Yarmouth Ice House, built as one of a pair between 1851 and 1892, was a key asset in the town’s once-thriving fishing industry.
