The first property which has been awarded grant funding from the Townscape Heritage Scheme is 27 – 29 Lord Street. The property is currently empty. It had solely residential use up to 1910, when shop fronts were installed on the ground floor. The property has stood witness to many changes in Gainsborough’s economic fortunes.
Mr Hurley purchased the block of properties prior to Covid. He said: “Our intention is to renovate the derelict properties and give them a new purpose so that they could contribute to the area. The substantial investment in historic buildings and associated community engagement activities seeks to improve the historic value and appearance of properties within targeted parts of the Town Centre Conservation Area of Gainsborough.
Jonathan Lee, experienced Townscape Heritage Officer at the Council is leading on the project. He is calling on all property owners in the designated area to come forward and find out more about the scheme.
