The Liverpool based architects worked closely with The Parish of Heswall to embrace the Church’s established ethos of welcome, combined with improving street presence to create a sense of place with a strong new identity. The extensive glazing invites people to step inside and creates a new relationship with the existing streetscape and wider Heswall community, embracing the concept of hospitality already embraced by the church congregation.

Tour and Presentation at the Engine Room and a Guided Walking Tour of Lord Street

Southport was once one of the most important Victorian seaside resorts, second only to Brighton.

Its historic Lord Street was an inspiration across Europe as a centre for fashion, shopping, wellness and entertainment.

With the changing fortunes of the British coasts in the wake of package holidays abroad, and retail moving online, particularly following the pandemic, Southport is working hard to diversify its economy into creative and digital hybrid working and related fields.

Slowly but surely the local authority, the business improvement district, educational providers and the community are reimagining new ways of using the historic built environment for innovative, inclusive and sustainable activities – reinventing the seaside of the future by building on the rich heritage and legacy of the past.

The tour will start with a look at the newly-opened Engine Room (a co-working and co-learning creative space, and an introduction by its Director, Dr Eric Lybeck, followed by a walking tour of Victorian Lord Street and the Townscape Heritage improvements led by a member of Sefton Council’s Historic Environment Team.

As part of the LAF Festival 2024, Hooton Park Trust will proudly open Hooton Park to visitors from local neighbourhoods and the Liverpool region, who will be amongst the first to view the newly restored Grade II* Hangars.

The Trust will give an in-depth, guided tour, led by experienced Trust members, where you'll be able to view close-up, the Museum’s spectacular display of aircrafts. Also featured is an archival film with 3D models. Architectural highlights will include the restoration work of the Hangars, featuring the wooden Belfast roof trusses.

The Hooton Park Hangars site is managed by The Hooton Park Trust (HPT), which was formed in 2000 with the aim of creating a Trust to oversee and manage the restoration of the remaining WW1 hangars on the former RAF airfield at Hooton Park, Cheshire. The long term aim is to provide a multifunctional site, as well as restoring the buildings and the site itself as valuable historic artefacts in their own right.

There is a Tea Room and shop on site which will be open for the tour duration.

Please meet 15 minutes before the tour is due to start
