Renovation plan to save Rock Hall

Bolton Green Umbrella | Tuesday 10 November 2020 | 0 Comments

Rock Hall is a much loved local building located in Moses Gate Country Park, with a fascinating history.

Bolton Council is currently in talks over a £1.5m renovation of Rock Hall, which has stood derelict in Moses Gate Country Park for six years.



Banana Enterprise Network, the Salford-based charity behind the bid, is developing proposals which include extending the back of the listed building in a “respectful manner” to maximise the potential of the 200-year-old hall. Click here to access their website which has a most interesting film giving the history of the Hall and outlining the hopes and plans for the future. This is a "Must Read" for anyone who loves Moses Gate Country Park and Rock Hall, and anyone who is interested in Bolton's industrial heritage.
