Dewars Lane Granary

Construction cost £4.0M

  • New windows and doors.
  • New mechanical and electrical system was installed to serve both the domestic works (youth hostel) and commercial works (Bistro & Cultural Centre).
  • Three two storey glazed pavilions were built to provide both an Architectural feature and allow light into the ground and first floor areas.
  • A new hydraulic lift serving all floors has been installed within a new lift shaft.
  • Underpinning work was undertaken to the main structure where it abuts an adjacent residential dwelling.
