Project: Spring Cottage, Manchester Road – Madina Masjid Nelson
Growth Lancashire was appointed to provide a Heritage Statement to help identify the historic importance of the buildings on the site. Spring Cottage is a Grade II listed building and illustrates a superb example of a Victorian villa constructed for the expanding middle classes in the early 19th century.
The focus of the work has been the assessment of a disused and semi-derelict former late Victorian Coachman’s Cottage and attached stable range lying to the east of the main house. The proposed scheme involves bringing the buildings back into sustainable new uses, including renovating the Coachman’s Cottage as a new house, converting the stables into three new business units, and constructing a new mortuary for the local community.
