Bacup Townscape Heritage Initiative
Project timeline: 2014-2019
Completed in 2019
In 2014 Rossendale Borough Council was successful in securing £2m funding through the HLF for a 5 year regeneration project that focused on Bacup’s unique buildings and cultural heritage.
The scope of works consisted of reconfiguring the existing road layout around the central roundabout in Bacup including the approach to Market St, Burnley Road, Yorkshire St, St James Square and the enlargement of the footway incorporating part of the bus stand concourse to create a larger public event space. In addition to this, there were a number of shopfront improvements made along St James Street and St James Square.
