1-4 Mount Road

Restoration Completed: 1984
Architect: David Brown

1-4 Mount Road from Shakers Lane

These appear from the street to be a pair of early 20th C Arts and Crafts inspired houses located on a site at the intersection of Mount Road and Shaker’s Lane. However, there are four properties that were acquired derelict and restored by the Trust. The restoration scheme was designed by David Brown, Architect, and completed in 1984.

They have two storeys of flint masonry with red brick dressings and a slated roof with brick stacks. The symmetrical principal elevation to the east has projecting gabled wings at each end with a single window at first floor and a projecting bay at ground level. Between the end wings, the cottages have two bays of fenestration at each floor, with the ground floor having a projecting shared porch, designed to match the original building but apparently much later in construction.

UNITARIAN MEETING HOUSE

In co-operation with the Trustees of the Unitarian Church, the Bury Society, the Borough Council and English Heritage, the Meeting House was restored in 1991. The Trust gave a substantial donation toward this restoration, which unlocked a promised grant from the local authority, and set up a management company as a separate charity.

Formerly a motor cycle showroom with workshop to the rear. The premises had been given consent for demolition and office redevelopment.

ELSEY’S MALTINGS

Elsey's Maltings

Elsey's Maltings

Restoration Completed: 2004
Architects: John Abbott and Malcolm Lowe

This property, now called The Maltings, was bought by the Borough Council who were unable to find anyone to take over the derelict site. A feasibility study for Age Concern indicated a cost of £2.5m for conversion to a Day Centre. The Trust suggested a lower cost scheme but, although a Heritage Lottery grant of £802,000 was offered, the charity withdrew as it was under pressure to find a quicker solution. At the same time (2004), St Matthew Housing was seeking a town centre office and the old maltings offered both office space and a site to the rear for five new flats, two of which were specially designed for the disabled. The Trust worked closely with The Maltings Project until completion. The final cost was £1.45m.
