The restoration of this cast-concrete coastal complex presented significant structural challenges. Built in the 1930s, prolonged exposure to the elements left this Category A listed structure in need of stabilisation and repair. The project team delivered a sensitive solution, to a constrained budget, improving resilience while preserving its historic character. The restored structure provides a long-term community asset that can continue to be used and enjoyed for years to come.
An exemplary conservation-led intervention within a challenging coastal environment. Careful investigation and a tiered repair strategy enabled significant portions of the historic structure to be retained and repaired rather than replaced. The work extends the life of an important community asset while contributing to professional knowledge of concrete repair and conservation. Through considered engineering judgement and restraint, the project balances heritage, sustainability and public benefit.
