The project is an extension and full refurbishment of the Grade II listed Town Hall, and the creation of a new high quality civic mixed-use development. It is for this comprehensive repair, restoration and refurbishment of the external facades and historic interiors that Purcell act as Heritage Architect and Heritage Consultants, working to respect both the building’s architectural expression and enable well considered, bold interventions.
