As part of our ongoing feasibility work for the Lancaster Canal Regeneration Partnership CIC, we’ve been exploring a range of potential approaches to improving accessibility through Hincaster Tunnel 🏗️

These early options focus on how level access might be achieved while respecting the tunnel’s historic fabric and unique character - current ideas under review include options such as a boardwalk and a `Roman road`.

These ideas form part of an early-stage assessment, intended to help understand what might be possible in the future. Further structural investigation will be essential to determine how any intervention could be delivered without compromising the historic tunnel.

Stay tuned for more updates as we continue the exploratory work and supporting the long-term ambitions for the @towpath_trail 🌿

We`ve been appointed by the Lancaster Canal Regeneration Partnership CIC to explore the next steps in improving accessibility along the Lancaster Canal @towpath_trail 🍃

Our role is to prepare a feasibility study focused on the future potential of Hincaster Tunnel - a 346m Grade II listed structure and one of the canal’s most significant heritage assets.

The study will consider:
👉 How level access might be achieved
👉 How the tunnel’s historic character can be better revealed
👉 How this remarkable structure could become a true `jewel in the crown` of the Towpath Trail

This work builds on ongoing investment along the 28-mile route, including earlier upgrades near Stainton supported by Sport England, and more recent funding through the Rural Shared Prosperity Fund to continue improvements toward Holme.

We look forward to helping shape the possibilities for this much-loved route, celebrating the heritage of the important historic site while exploring ways it could become more accessible for everyone 🙌

Located within the Yorkshire Dales National Park, Thwaite Farm is a working farm with a collection of traditional buildings steeped in rural character. We were commissioned to oversee the careful repair and conservation of the Grade II listed barn complex, ensuring its continued use and longevity within the landscape 🌿🚜

A detailed inspection and structural appraisal identified long-term issues including water ingress, timber decay, and structural deformation. The repair strategy focused on sensitive conservation, undoing unsympathetic past alterations and reinstating traditional craftsmanship throughout.

The barns were re-roofed using locally sourced Burlington Blue Strong slates, traditionally laid in random widths and diminishing courses to match the original vernacular form. Air-dried oak was used for replacing structural timbers, each jointed by hand to mirror historic techniques.

This project exemplifies a balanced approach to heritage and function - preserving the integrity of traditional rural architecture while supporting the ongoing life of a working farm 🌾

Morland Hall - transformed from ruin to one of Cumbria’s finest country houses through meticulous conservation and design 🌿

Originally completed in 1861, Morland Hall was built as a statement of prestige and ambition. After serving briefly as a Red Cross hospital during WWII, the hall was abandoned in 1945 and rapidly fell into ruin. By 1999, the once magnificent country house was roofless, overgrown and collapsing, with trees growing through former dining rooms 🌳

Crosby Granger Architects were part of the dedicated team that brought Morland Hall back from the brink of loss. Our conservation-led approach combined:
✨ Traditional building techniques
✨ Carefully detailed oak panelling
✨ Locally trained craftsmanship
✨ Sensitive integration of modern design and services

Working closely with an enthusiastic client, local craftsmen and the planning authority, we oversaw the project from early planning discussions through to site completion, including delivering hands-on training in lime plastering. Alongside the restoration of the 8-bedroom hall, the project included refurbishment of the historic service range and conversion of a barn into three holiday cottages.

The project was recognised by Eden District Council, winning the 2007 Conservation Design Award - a testament to the commitment, continuity of craftsmanship and respect for heritage at the heart of the scheme 🏆

Breathing life back into Thornthwaite Hall 🏛️

We are proud to have played a part in the sensitive conservation of Thornthwaite Hall, a remarkable Grade II listed 16th-century hall house near Bampton, Cumbria.

Though recently reinstated as a single dwelling after years of partial use as a bank barn, the building continued to suffer from severe water ingress and exposure to harsh Cumbrian weather 🌧️

Our approach focused on reinstating the balance originally intended by its master masons. Through careful investigation and traditional material trials, we:
Conducted historic fabric and materials analysis
👉 Employed vernacular building techniques
👉 Roughcast rendered exposed elevations in lime mortar
👉 Finished with a breathable ochre limewash for long-term protection

The result is a sympathetic transformation that protects the structure while respecting its heritage. The new lime roughcast not only halts water ingress but enhances the visual authenticity of the hall within its rural setting - preserving its character for generations to come.

The unrealised successful planning application for a new Ullswater Yacht Clubhouse ⛵

Thoughtfully designed to sit comfortably within its spectacular Lake District setting, the clubhouse design blends craftsmanship, durability and contemporary design while remaining sensitive to the surrounding landscape.

Featuring two traditional pitched roofs oriented toward Ullswater and the western fells, the proposed building would have stepped subtly into the landscape to reduce visual impact from eastern viewpoints. A generous overhanging roof sheltering a terrace would offer year-round outdoor space for members.

Materiality plays a key role in achieving balance between function and context. The proposed design combines black corrugated cladding, timber boarding and large glazed façades, delivering durability and performance while echoing the character of local rural buildings 🪵

This proposed development represents a significant upgrade in both design quality and environmental resilience for the club, ensuring it meets the long-term needs of members and the community 👏

Preserving heritage in the Lyth Valley 🌿

We`re proud to be leading conservation work on two remarkable pieces of the Lake District’s historic landscape: Inman’s Bridge and a Grade II listed limekiln.

Inman’s Bridge, a 19th-century stone cattle crossing over the River Gilpin, is the only surviving structure of its kind in the valley. Weathering and movement in the stonework have left it vulnerable, and careful planning is needed to secure its future. The nearby limekiln, built in the 18th or early 19th century, has withstood centuries of change but is now overgrown and in need of sensitive repair.

With funding from Historic England and Countryside Stewardship, we will be undertaking feasibility studies to guide their conservation. Our aim is to respect their history while ensuring these landmarks remain part of the working landscape for generations to come.
