Reimagine
Farah and Syahirah

Do you know that before terraced housing, back-to-back type were very popular due to its cheaper cost. However, in the late 19th century, it was banned due to health and sanitary concern and since then many of those houses are demolished throughout the UK, although there are still some survived. The 9-11 Black Abbey Street building is one of the surviving examples of a house and back-to-back cottages.

Reimagine
Farah and Syahirah

Based on descriptions provided, we try to recreate the 18th century interior of the 1-7 Black Abbey Street building. The function of the building has changed so much from a grange to cowhouses to barn and stables, and recently just before the fire, as retail stores.

Circulation Proposal
Farah and Syahirah

Developing our facade intervention idea from previous week, instead of a mere exhibition, we proposed for the possibility of interaction between visitors and urban artefacts that will be installed in the Black Abbey Street.

Site Mapping
Farah and Syahirah

Mapping our chosen site for intervention, Black Abbey Street, within the town of Accrington. Our intention is to revive the true value of the Black Abbey Street, locally dubbed as the 'first hamlet of Accrington', as a gateway and destination. Our intervention will then re-activate the high streets including the Blackburn Road and Abbey Street, as well as other points of interests identified.
