This Collaborative Heritage Lab focuses on bringing three currently highly dilapidated buildings back into use. These are terraced buildings on High Street West (170-175) Sunderland. They were originally built as houses in late 1700’s, with their ground floors converted to retail/office very early on.
🏘️The three buildings are owned Freehold by the TWBPT. The project is located in Sunderland’s Heritage Action Zone and is a key project within this. Once restored, the buildings are expected to be a positive addition to the street and help the revitalisation of the area.
The main aim of this CHL is to get the three buildings on High Street West (170-175) in Sunderland (UK) back into long term economically sustainable socio-cultural use. Specifically for the next two years we aim to re-open the complete ground floor of all 3 buildings so they can be used for a mixture of permanent and temporary cultural uses.

Opened by the Sunderland Literary and Philosophical Society in 1841, the original building served as the town’s first museum. In 1873 the Athenaeum became home to the Sunderland and North Durham Liberal Club and in 1899 it was rebuilt to accommodate the needs of the Club.
