Runcorn es una ciudad industrial en Halton, Cheshire , Inglaterra, en la orilla sur del río Mersey, donde se estrecha en Runcorn Gap . En la ciudad se encuentran los 61 edificios que están registrados en la Lista del Patrimonio Nacional de Inglaterra como edificios designados en el área urbana actual de Runcorn, incluidos los distritos de Runcorn, Halton , Weston , Weston Point y Norton . Dos de ellos se clasifican en el Grado I, nueve en el Grado II * y cincuenta en el Grado II.
En el Reino Unido, el término "edificio catalogado" se refiere a un edificio u otra estructura oficialmente designada como de especial importancia arquitectónica, histórica o cultural. Estos edificios están en tres grados: el grado I consiste en edificios de interés arquitectónico o histórico sobresaliente; El grado II * incluye edificios particularmente importantes de interés más que local; El grado II consta de edificios de especial interés arquitectónico o histórico. Los edificios en Inglaterra están listados por el Secretario de Estado de Cultura, Medios y Deporte según las recomendaciones proporcionadas por English Heritage, que también determina la clasificación. [1]
Antes de la Revolución Industrial , el área contenía los asentamientos separados de Runcorn, Higher Runcorn, Halton, Weston, Weston Point y Norton. Las funciones administrativas del área se concentraron inicialmente en Halton, [2] que contenía un castillo y un tribunal, mientras que la iglesia parroquial estaba en Runcorn. [3] El aumento de población asociado con la industrialización resultó en una expansión considerable, por lo que los asentamientos anteriormente discretos fueron absorbidos por el área urbana actual, gran parte de la cual data de los siglos XIX y XX. [4] Los edificios listados se concentran en Halton Village, que tiene 20, y Runcorn Town Center, que tiene 16.
Los edificios listados se pueden dividir por fecha en tres grupos: estructuras antiguas, estructuras construidas durante los dos siglos antes de la Revolución Industrial y aquellas construidas durante o después de ella.
Halton Castle y Norton Priory datan de los siglos XI y XII, y ahora están en ruinas. Las estructuras construidas antes de la Revolución Industrial reflejan la sociedad tal como era en ese momento y las principales ocupaciones de la agricultura y la pesca. Entre ellos destacan las masías, como el edificio conocido como Casa del Senescal , que data de 1598 y es el edificio en pie más antiguo del casco urbano; edificios relacionados con casas señoriales, como la logia y la casa de hielo en los terrenos de Norton Priory; edificios domésticos, como Halton Old Hall , y edificios relacionados con la iglesia, como Halton Vicarage y la biblioteca Chesshyre adyacente .
La diversidad de los edificios de Runcorn aumentó durante la Revolución Industrial. Las estructuras como Bridgewater House se asociaron con la industria, mientras que los grandes edificios domésticos como Halton Grange se financiaron con la nueva riqueza creada. La ciudad ampliada requirió nuevos edificios cívicos como la Antigua Estación de Policía (originalmente un Ayuntamiento) e infraestructura de transporte como el puente ferroviario y el muelle de mareas, mientras que las necesidades de la creciente población se cubrieron con estructuras como Norton Water Tower . Todas las iglesias incluidas en la lista se construyeron en el siglo XIX; los arquitectos incluyen a John Douglas , Anthony Salvin , Sir George Gilbert Scott y Edmund Sharpe . La estructura listada más reciente es el Puente Silver Jubilee , construido en 1961.
A excepción del hierro o acero incluido en los puentes y la torre de agua, las estructuras están construidas en ladrillo o piedra. La piedra es casi invariablemente arenisca roja , obtenida de las canteras locales en las áreas de Runcorn, Weston y Halton. [5] A menos que se indique lo contrario, los edificios (excepto los puentes y la torre de agua) están construidos en piedra arenisca roja local con techos de pizarra. Sus ubicaciones se pueden encontrar en el mapa de todas las coordenadas.
