⛪ Emerging plans to regenerate the historic Wels ⛪ Emerging plans to regenerate the historic Welsh Church on Princes Road could secure the future of one of Toxteth’s best-known landmarks.

Owner Audsley Holdings has spent around 18 months exploring a viable long-term use for the Grade II-listed building and surrounding site, with proposals now taking shape for its restoration and sensitive adaptation as part of a predominantly residential development.

Also known as the ‘Welsh Church’ or ‘Toxteth Cathedral’, the church dates back to the 1860s and has stood vacant and derelict for decades, suffering extensive weather damage and vandalism.

The emerging scheme would seek to retain and repair one of Liverpool’s most recognisable buildings, with a gym, café and visitor centre celebrating the contribution of the city’s Welsh community also being explored.

A formal pre-application has now been submitted to Liverpool City Council as work continues towards a future planning application.
