| Lower Duke Street Walk and Talk
Mon Jun 1 18:00 – 19:30
Guided Walking Tour
Join Steve Power, former Development Director of the Rope Walks Partnership for a stroll around the Lower Duke Street area.
This Townscape Heritage Initiative which ran from 1998 to 2002 was the first to be declared in the UK and covered approx. 2 hectares of the Lower Duke Street Conservation Area . It represents an 18th and 19th century urban form characterised by straight streets and dense building coverage. It included the regeneration of 18 historic buildings including a large number of Georgian houses, old private three to five-and-a-half storey brick warehouses interspersed with commercial and large residential buildings and some modest terraced workers’ houses.
The project was a £25 million investment funded by THI, ERDF, UK Government Development Agency, and private investment.
