BURA Awards for Best Practice in Regeneration 2007 - Winners

The Ropewalk was part winner of the BURA award for Best Practice in Regeneration 2007 award.

"A redundant rope works building, (the longest Grade II listed building in the country) which had laid vacant for 10 years, was converted to link the Waters’ Edge site with Barton town centre. It now contains a gallery, studios, workshop and auditorium which house 26 arts, crafts and media businesses. This project was delivered through a cooperative established by Proudfoot Supermarket Group who owned the buildings and the public sector. Demand now outreaches supply which is being met by another project due to be completed in 2008."
