AABC 25th Anniversary Conference

Rochdale Town Hall - Great Hall
Join us for the AABC 25th Anniversary Conference, where we'll celebrate a quarter-century of improving Architectural Conservation.

Thu, 10 Oct 2024 10:00 - 16:00 BST

This year's conference will be held at Rochdale Town Hall, a Grade I listed building designed by William Crossland, which opened in 1871 to symbolise the town’s rich industrial standing in the textile trade. According to Historic England, its ornate styling interiors are rivalled only by the Palace of Westminster. A multi-million-pound restoration to transform the building began in 2021, and the third phase will be continuing on the west side at the time of the conference.

We will use The Great Hall, which is adorned with stained glass representations of England’s monarchs, from William the Conqueror to Victoria and Albert. The vaulted space of The Great Hall is truly magnificent and a sight to see, the decorative ceiling panels having recently been restored.

The Conference is open to members and non-members of the AABC register, and we look forward to seeing you all in October.
