New vision emerges for Toxteth’s historic Welsh Church
- Emerging plans to regenerate the Welsh Church on Princes Road could secure the future of one of Toxteth’s best-known landmarks.
- Applicant Audsley Holdings, which owns the Grade-II listed church, has spent approximately 18 months carrying out feasibility, design and consultation work aimed at identifying a viable long-term future for the building and surrounding site.
- The local landmark has stood vacant and derelict for decades, suffering extensive weather damage and vandalism, with large sections of its roof lost and parts of the structure requiring stabilisation.
- The emerging proposals from Audsley seek to retain, repair and sensitively adapt the church as part of a predominantly residential development designed to support the long-term regeneration of the site.
- A range of complementary uses is also being explored, including a gym, visitor centre and café. The visitor centre would pay homage to the history and contribution of Liverpool’s Welsh community, introducing a public-facing element to the development alongside the proposed new homes.
