The Paul Hogarth Company, which worked on Belfast’s waterfront and Titanic Quarter transformation, has been tasked with re-shaping the Lancashire market town.
The Fylde town has secured £1.8m from Historic England’s £95m High Streets Heritage Action Zone programme, which will part-fund a £3.5m project committed to revivifying Kirkham’s core conservation area, with further funding coming from borough and town councils.
The investment is a vital part of the wider £10m Kirkham Futures masterplan.
The Paul Hogarth Company team, based in Edinburgh, Belfast and Dublin, in partnership with Fylde Borough Council and Historic England, will formulate and deliver plans to improve outdoor spaces.

It could be a runner for the UK government to offer Covid-19 vaccines to the Republic of Ireland, Stormont s First Minister Arlene Foster has said.
Mrs Foster told Irish national broadcaster RTÉ she would be making that point again when they next meet.
A UK government spokesperson said there was currently no surplus of vaccine.
It quoted a cabinet source who said the idea was both good politics and would address genuine public health concern in Northern Ireland .
With a much faster rollout of the vaccine north of the Irish border, the newspaper said the offer would help Northern Ireland s effort to ease lockdown measures.
