Timekeepers Square is a development of 36 townhouses that forms part of the English Cities Fund’s (ECf) Salford Central regeneration scheme. It won a RIBA NW Award in 2018. The development is located within the Adelphi/Bexley Square conservation area with the neo-classical Grade II* listed St Phillips Church at its centre. A primary urban design aim for the project was to reinstate the area’s historic street pattern and re-introduce a legibility to the streets that would strengthen the area’s centrepiece – St Phillips Church. The strategic plan for Timekeepers Square has been to create clearly defined rows of terraces that relate in a sensitive and contemporary manner to neighbouring Georgian terraces, responding to them in height, massing, and rhythm. A restrained material palette defines the scheme as a new, distinct place. Grey brickwork creates a homogeneity that reinforces the development’s contemporary identity, while mediating between Georgian brickwork and the sandstone of St Phillips.
