Urban Splash is picking up where the cotton industry left off, bringing a once thriving cotton mill back to life. Homes, shops, cafés and gardens will revive this site, perfectly nestled between the Huddersfield Narrow Canal and the banks of the River Tame.
The Mill is the first building to be occupied and it's all about contrast; it's contemporary but you can also see the beams, pillars and brickwork that are the bones of a building that has been here for two centuries. Outdoors is important too. That's why we are going to bring together texture, scent, colour and simple spacious expanses along the river to make the gardens somewhere you'll want to spend time, an extension of your home. The ground floor commercial units have all of the qualities of the original building with a fully glazed shop front and should bring new businesses to the area ensuring it is alive both day and night.
Famous for its historic cotton industry, Stalybridge is a charming town that has been through a major process of regeneration. The town centre has been transformed, with investment by the public and private sectors creating new shops and leisure facilities. Manchester city centre is just eight miles to the west and a 12 minute train ride away. To the east lies the beautiful Chew Valley and the Pennine Hills.
