Page 33. 121 Seafront
Special care needs to be taken with the historic Georgian buildings and their windows from the bow windowed Lady Charlotte Denys's house at the bottom of Pier Hill eastwards, the Hope Hotel, the former court house adjacent to the Kursaal on the seafront and the wooden listed cottages further east.
The Society is concerned that the City Beach proposal should not damage but enhance these buildings.
The Committee of the Leigh society welcome this draft Document.
It is clearly laid out, well designed and easy to read.
However, we feel it would be further improved if the sections in the Contents were labelled with page numbers for reference.
All in all this is a very welcome document and we commend the officers for their efforts.
