Preserving a Piece of History in Cullercoats
Ainsworth Spark Associates were commissioned by the hardworking team of volunteers that make up the Cullercoats Watch House trustees to produce a feasibility study for the complete renovation of this local architectural gem.
We drafted a 3-stage plan for the complete overhaul of the building, which included renovations and repair to the external envelope, internal spatial reorganisation and refurbishment, and improvements to the public realm complete with improved accessible circulation and amphitheatre style seating.
After providing assistance with architectural heritage grant funding applications, we liaised with local authority heritage officers to achieve planning permission and listed building consent, allowing works to Phase 1 to begin.
Working alongside expert local tradespeople we have collectively been able to restore the building’s, previously faltering, exterior. This project not only preserves the Watch House’s unique architectural charm but also ensures its continued revival as a vibrant community centre.
