NEW CONTRACTS AWARDED • Preston Hall Museum, Stockton on Tees Quarmby Construction has been appointed to undertake the refurbishment of Grade II listed Preston Hall Museum in Stockton on Tees. The project is the third phase of a joint Heritage Lottery and Stockton Borough Council funded redevelopment of the Museum and comprises the re-configuration and refurbishment of the Museum to improve the accessibility, circulation and facilities for visitors and users, create new displays and improve the internal and external fabric of the building. The museum was opened within the hall by Stockton Borough Council in 1953 to mark the Coronation of Queen Elizabeth II; a Victorian Street was developed to the side of the Museum in the 1970’s and 80’s. • Tower Works, Holbeck Urban Village, Leeds Quarmby Construction has been appointed to undertake the restoration and redevelopment of the listed Tower Works at Holbeck Urban Village by Yorkshire Forward. The works involve a phase of demolition work, the stabilisation of one of the three chimneys and restoration and conversion of two listed buildings with new build elements, which will eventually provide serviced office accommodation and community space. Tower Works' distinctive towers, modeled on the Giotto tower in Florence and the Lamberti tower in Verona, served as chimneys for the former steel pin factory dating from 1864. The third plain tower is thought to represent a Tuscan tower house. Last update: |
