Part of a Great Community Part of a Great City
In the heart of Chilwell between Bramcote and the Attenborough Nature Reserve, communications are quick with great train connections from Beeston Station, the tram close by, many bus routes and quick and easy access to the centre of Nottingham and the M1.
Well-connected location with local shopping, restaurants and bars on the High Road and in central Beeston. The development is opposite the green open space of Chilwell Manor Golf Course and close to the Attenborough Nature Reserve and River Trent.
The development is part of the regeneration of the historic Barton Transport site.
Bartons have always been forward thinking, from creating the first bus company in the country, developing the first diesel engines and now in ensuring that the redevelopment of their site has a positive impact on the community now and in the future.
The Building A Legacy principles developed by The Prince's Foundation have driven the design and ethos of the development.
This carefully designed new development of homes, facilities and two new squares will embrace the industrial heritage and residential character of Chilwell and Beeston.
The plans have been developed through close engagement with the local community and will not only create an important anchor for the west end of the vibrant Chilwell High Road but be a substantial new mixed use quarter for Nottingham.
The scheme has been designed by the Prince's Foundation, the Prince of Wales's prestigious built environment charity, in close collaboration with Ben Pentreath Architects. Ben is a well-known designer who has collaborated with the Foundation on many projects and shares the ethos of traditional design combined with contemporary living standards.
Barton Quarter is located on the former site of Bartons Transport, which is not only the oldest bus company in the world, but has been an important institution in Nottinghamshire dating back to 1908. A fourth generation family business, Bartons was founded by Thomas Henry Barton OBE and grew to be, for many years, the largest independent operator in the country until 1989 when it was sold following a change in government policies. The Barton family want to keep running entertainment activities on the site when it is developed and see this new chapter in the site's history as an important part of the family legacy.
