Abstract: |
As a modern building, the meeting house itself has low heritage significance. The sustainable architecture used for the meeting house gives a unique identity to the building and helps to minimise the environmental impact of the buildings efficiency. Evidential value: The building is a recent building constructed on the site of a former post-war meeting house. It is of low evidential value. Historical value: As a relatively recent build this building has low historical value. The site can provide local context into the modern history of Quakerism in Stockport. Aesthetic value: The meeting house has a unique and honest design which demonstrates the advancing technologies used to create a sustainable building. Communal value: The meeting house was built for Quaker use. However, it is also a community resource. The building is used by a number of local groups and visitors and has a high communal value. |
