A community-led scheme is transforming the heart of Tyldesley by reviving shop fronts, encouraging start-ups to take up spaces and inspiring continued sensitive development in the area.
Tyldesley is a town located in the borough of Wigan, 12 miles from Manchester. The area was primarily rural until the 19th century and grew into a colliery town during the Industrial Revolution.
Tyldesley features a Conservation Area with seven listed buildings, with the centre of the town lying between the market square and Top Chapel. The High Street Heritage Action Zone focuses on Elliott Street, the single main route running through Tyldesley, which is believed to follow a previous Roman road route.
Tyldesley's scheme is the only community-led scheme in the North West. For Tyldesley CIC (Community Interest Company) is delivering a four-year programme of building repairs, community engagement and cultural programming. For Tyldesley CIC is proud to have the local community and young people at the scheme's heart.
With £1.8 million in government funding, delivered through Historic England, the High Street Heritage Action Zone will transform Tyldesley's Conservation Area. For Tyldesley CIC plan to refurbish and restore locally significant buildings such as Frank's café and will also produce a shop-front design guide to inspire the continued sensitive development of Elliott Street.

I've lived in Tyldesley for the last 30 years and it has changed so much. Recently for the better. It did become a crap hole though (Cheers Wigan MBC, hope your latest art project does well). I think we as a community are on the way up. I could go on but it would sound like a sales brochure. Have a night out here, you won't be disappointed.

I'm from Tyldesley and visit twice a year (from the states) It's very exciting to see the improvements, looking forward to my next visit. If all the shop fronts participated and it looked like it use to I think I'll move back lol.
