The brief

We were delighted to be asked to lead the transformation of Honley Cricket Club Pavilion after they were awarded an England Cricket Club (ECB) grant in partnership with Honley Football Club. There was absolute agreement about the need to retain the buildings’ unique 1900s character – but the challenge was to make it into a modern, accessible and welcoming community facility.

 

Our approach

Being trusted with a community project of this importance has been an honour for the management and staff. The grant enabled us to re-roof the building, replace the windows and introduce the necessary ramps and access for disabled users. The building was extended significantly and internally, new changing facilities, offices and social space upgraded.

 

The result

We are very proud of the finished building which now provides much needed local facilities whilst retaining all the heritage and nostalgia of the original building.

 

The brief

A long-standing roof leak in the bell tower was causing deterioration of the roof timbers in South Crosland Church and we were asked to diagnose and repair the damage to secure the future of the building

 

Our approach

This was another project on which we were pleased to be trusted to work on an historic building with ancient construction materials and techniques. The project included the strengthening of the tower itself, external masonry and lead work to the roof.

 

The result

The bell tower is now secure and dry – and should last several hundred more years!
