Grade II-listed 18th-century property to be removed from Heritage at Risk register following extensive structural repair and conservation works

A pair of long-derelict buildings on Redchurch Street in Shoreditch have been restored following a five-year conservation-led project by Chris Dyson Architects, working with structural engineers Alan Baxter Associates and contractor Fullers.

One of the properties, 113 Redchurch Street, a Grade II-listed 18th-century weavers’ house, has been on Historic England’s Heritage at Risk register since 2012 and is now set to be removed following completion of the works.

When the Truman Brewery bought the two properties, Alan Baxter Associates were engaged to assess the condition of the buildings. Chris Dyson Architects, based in Spitalfields and with experience in working with historic buildings in the area, was then appointed to lead the architectural restoration.
