Case Study
Hull Paragon Interchange
Located in the centre of the historic market town of Hull, the Paragon Railway Station opened in 1847 and now provides regular rail and bus services locally and nationally. We were contracted to repair and sympathetically restore features of the G. T. Andrews-designed station entrance which was originally built in the Italianate style.
The project involved the removal of offending fixings and reinstatement of the structural integrity of the Listed building, as well as the replication of missing terracotta balusters and the dismantlement and rebuild of the portico parapet.
Newcastle Upon Tyne Trinity House
Newcastle Upon Tyne Trinity House holds charitable status and is committed to the preservation and protection of its buildings which trace back six hundred years and contain a number of maritime collections which are rich in local cultural heritage.
The slow, controlled and sympathetic removal of an offending paint coating in the entranceway has revealed the true character of the Trinity House building and a charming stone surface that is once again, able to breathe. The now exposed surface of the stone will allow the absorption and evaporation of moisture to take place harmlessly and will hopefully extend the life of the historic fabric.
Lion Bridge, Alnwick, Northumberland
Lion Bridge is a Grade I Listed Structure and Schedule Ancient Monument in Alnwick, Northumberland. Built in 1775, it is the most famous bridge on the River Aln and features four arches and a lead cast Percy Lion.
We were contracted by Northumberland County Council to conduct careful conservation repair and consolidation works, including removing and repairing friable areas of previous coatings, re-pointing open joints and supplying and fixing geologically matching stone to specific areas of the bridge.
