He didn’t save a castle, a mansion, or a picture-perfect country cottage. Maxx Webster spent his own money rescuing a forgotten 150-year-old coach house beside a modern car park — and the story became much bigger than old bricks.
In this video, we explore how Maxx Webster, known online through Round Corner, bought a neglected historic coach house in Leeming Bar and turned an awkward, sealed-up outbuilding into a public restoration mission. What looked like a small forgotten structure was actually a rare surviving link to the village’s industrial past, tied to horses, carts, foundry work, and working-class heritage.
But this was not a simple renovation story. The coach house had been boxed in by modern development, cut off from normal use, and left in a condition that made restoration expensive, technical, and risky. Webster’s decision to step in raises a bigger question: did he really spend his savings to save it, and how did the project evolve from a private financial gamble into a creator-funded restoration story?
We look at the timeline, the Round Corner project, the hidden costs of restoring old brick buildings, and why saving small historic structures matters in 2026 — not just for nostalgia, but for heritage, reuse, sustainability, and community memory.
Was this just one man saving an old building, or proof that forgotten places can survive when someone makes people care?
