Summary
Transforming the historic Redcar Central Station
The £6 million redevelopment of Redcar station, returning the station to its former glory has now completed.
The Grade II listed building underwent a significant transformation. The ambitious project revitalised this beautiful building, which had fallen into disrepair, turning it into a vibrant leisure and retail hub as well as a transportation link.
A collaborative funding Initiative
The ambitious redevelopment project had received generous financial support from various sources. Key contributors included the governments Levelling Up Partnership Fund, the Welcome to Redcar and Cleveland fund administrated by Tees Valley Combined Authority, and the Railway Heritage Trust.
Balancing sustainability with heritage preservation
Sustainability was a priority despite the station being listed as a Victorian Building. Renewable energy systems were installed, such as solar panels which were positioned out of sight ensuring the traditional look of the building.
Enhancing local economy and community
The restoration aims were to support local businesses and encourage more visitors to the station, bringing life and vitality back to the building and contributing to the council’s wider strategy of improvement in the town centre.
Tees Valley Mayor Ben Houchen said, “The regeneration also complements the work we’re doing at stations across the region to improve communities and give local people the transport likes they deserve”.
