Behind every restoration project is something far more important than bricks and scaffolding - the people who call these places home.
We recently sat down with Pat, who has lived at The Liversage Trust Almshouses on London Road for nearly 12 years, to hear about the community, friendships and beautiful gardens that make this place so special to her.
Hearing Pat describe the Almshouses as her “safe haven” was a moving reminder of why this £3 million restoration matters so much. While work continues to preserve the historic buildings and improve accessibility for the future, protecting the sense of home and belonging for residents remains at the heart of the project.
The stunning gardens, lovingly maintained by Tony for more than 20 years, are a huge part of that story too - creating a peaceful space for residents.
A huge thank you to Pat for sharing her memories with us.

Charles Hanson from Hanson Auctioneers recently came to inspect the two heavy-duty safes in our board room.
We’re not entirely sure how just yet, but we’re hoping they’ll be heading to auction. That said, getting them out of the building could be a challenge!
It’s safe to say (pun fully intended) this one might require a bit of creative thinking…

Works are now well and truly underway, with scaffolding in place and the focus on the roof. The existing slates are being carefully removed and reused where possible, helping to retain the character of the building.
Inside, progress continues as the old office spaces and laundry room are being stripped out to make way for the next stage of the project.
There have even been a few exciting discoveries along the way – including some fantastic vintage wallpaper uncovered by the contractors, offering a glimpse into the building’s history.

Exciting News…

Today marks the start of the refurbishment of our Almshouse on London Road. This £3 million project will carefully preserve the unique character of these Grade II listed buildings while adapting them to meet the needs of modern living.

Over the coming months, we’ll be sharing updates, behind-the-scenes insights, and key milestones on our Facebook, Instagram, and LinkedIn.

We’re collaborating with a talented team of partners, consultants, and specialists to bring this programme to life, and we can’t wait to keep you updated on our progress every step of the way.
