Description
Alexandra Park was constructed in the early 1960s as the purpose-built headquarters for Pilkington Glass who were then one of the largest glass manufacturers in the world. The complex was designed by Edwin Maxwell Fry - a leading British Modernist architect and friend of Le Corbusier - and is regarded as one of the earliest and best-surviving examples of a Greenfield headquarters complex in the UK. As such, the complex was awarded Grade 2 listed status in 1995.
Broadly, the site comprises:-
Listed Main Office Complex - including The Tower, The Court, Lakeside & The Pavilion, which comprise approximately 160,000 sq. ft. of former office space on a Net Internal Basis. The main office complex is Grade 2 Listed and the listing also includes the former chauffeur's house, car port, steps down to the lake, the north lake surrounds and concrete bridge.
Southern Development Land - former playing fields site comprising approximately 5 acres.
Eastern Development Land - former car parking areas to the eastern side of Alexandra Drive comprising approximately 4 acres.
The primary entrance is from Borough Road (A58), which forks into 2 with one road providing the principal access to the office complex and main car park with the other road forming Alexandra Drive which runs along the eastern side of the site through to Stafford Road. The secondary entrance is from Prescot Road (A58), which runs to the rear of The Court Building and can provide access to the Southern Development Land.
