Historic Shop Front Restorations, Former Town Hall – Gainsborough

Beautifully Restored By Carre Heritage

Current Occupiers: Yorkshire Building Society | The Meatery Butchers | Barnes Jewellers | Alfie's Deli

The former town hall is located in the Historic Market Place in Gainsborough. The building is located within the Town Centre Conservation Area which shows its significance within the town. The building was formerly the Town Hall for Gainsborough and is located on the historic site of the Moot Hall.

The original Town Hall building was built in the late 19th century with the frontage to Lord Street still remaining today. The elevation facing the Market Place was renewed in the 1950’s following bomb damage in the Second World War. In the 1980’s shopfronts were created on the ground floor of the Market Place elevation and a metal canopy constructed.

Carre Heritage was successful in tendering for the works involved with The Townscape Heritage Initiative and we quickly formed a strong, efficient and productive working relationship with the architects, designers, project managers, clients and West Lindsey District Council in working through this multifaceted project.

The scope of works included:

- The removal of the existing canopy to the Market Place elevation of the former town hall
- The manufacture and fitting of bespoke Sapele hardwood shopfronts
- A new architecturally designed glazed canopy
- DOFF cleaning of the stone and masonry facades
- Significant brickwork repairs following the removal of the existing canopy
- Timber window repairs to the Lord Street Elevation
- High level repairs to both Cupolas using the Timber Repair Care system and finished with a full redecoration
