Runcorn Old Town | Camden Buildings

The purpose of this video, which is part of a series, is to document buildings and places which are due for demolition or refurbishment. The old things are easily forgotten. In this episode, I document via 4K DJI Mini 3 Pro, Camden Buildings. An opposing Building set in the heart of Runcorn Old town. Planning Permission was submitted to Halton Borough Council in October 2022. The scope is a Proposed change of use from vacant commercial/retail ground floor units with vacant commercial/retail/residential space above into mixed community based commercial and arts use, including new youth centre and new build two storey extension (Number 57) to the east end of terrace adjacent number 59, existing buildings comprise basements, ground plus two storeys.

Reconnecting Runcorn https://hbcnewsroom.co.uk/reconnectin... explains: Halton Borough Council has acquired and is set to repurpose 65 High Street, Runcorn as it progresses plans for a Creative and Digital Skills Centre as part of the £23.6m Reconnecting Runcorn Town Deal. The former Gas Store was becoming vacant, with the business relocating to a light industrial unit, as more customers opted to use online, rather than traditional showrooms. The Council acquired the property – one of the ‘Camden buildings’ – that dominate the appearance of the High Street. 65 High Street is one of several plans the Council is developing to restore the historic properties which it hopes will see the High Street at the heart of our community again. In Runcorn, the Council is taking a similar approach to the High Street Heritage Action Zones, as promoted by Historic England. Already underway and progressing well, is the restoration of the Georgian property 71 High Street, which Hazlehurst Arts Collective will occupy along with 10 additional artist studios later this year. 71 High Street is one of only a few listed buildings in the town centre. While the Camden buildings are not listed buildings, many consider these locally important historic properties. The Council is aiming to retain the properties and bring them back into use by establishing a cluster of voluntary and community organisations in the creative and digital sector. Repurposing the Camden buildings is technically challenging, as not all buildings in the block of six are in the ownership of the Council, and the condition of some of the buildings is poor. However, the Reconnecting Runcorn plans would see one of the properties transformed into a stunning ‘winter garden’ that would bring the feeling of being outdoors, indoors. The space would be used as a lobby and as an indoor venue for small cultural events. The Council based the idea on the Granby Street Winter Garden in Liverpool.
