church wharf

a landmark regeneration project for the town centre of bolton, creating a vibrant new neighbourhood.

what’s the plan?

Watson is working to deliver a sustainable regeneration project of the Church Wharf area of Bolton town centre. This £100m plan will create a bustling quarter containing high-quality homes, community spaces, retail and leisure and hotel accommodation.

Our vision for Church Wharf centres around a new public plaza, an inviting riverside area containing new bars, restaurants and cafes. Our plaza opens up to Church Bank, providing new links and routes into the town centre.

Our project will deliver:

  • 415 high-quality, sustainable homes

  • Up to 130-bed hotel

  • Leisure and retail offerings

  • New and improved public realm
