Bolton’s iconic Iron Church could become a centre for ‘business start-ups and young entrepreneurs’ as new plans for the building are unveiled.
The church, at a gateway location at the edge of the town centre on Blackburn Road, is a Grade II Listed building. It was built in 1897 in red squared sandstone with dominant tower and spire designed by John Simpson under the patronage of Lord Leverhulme.
In planning documents published by Bolton Council this week, applicant Mubeen Afzal has proposed a change of use to allow the building to be used as offices, as well an education and training centre.
