The sensitive multi-million-pound restoration of Northumberland Park, a 130-year-old Victorian park located in the heart of North Shields. Gillespies delivered both the landscape and architectural design which ensured a sensitive and coordinated design for this Heritage Lottery Funded project.
Key to providing a strong design was interpreting historic information for original features through research and discussions with the Friends Group, and providing sensitive design solutions when information was incomplete or when new features were proposed.
Gillespies were involved from the start of the National Lottery bid process through to completion, and the restoration should ensure that this Victorian pleasure ground has a future into the 21st Century.
