Woodhead win £750,000 bid to Refurbish Kirton in Lindsey Diamond Jubilee Town Hall

Robert Woodhead Ltd are delighted to confirm their appointment as main contractor for the restoration of the Diamond Jubilee Town Hall

“We’re incredibly excited to be a part of this project” says Simon Butler, Heritage and Conservation Manager for Robert Woodhead Ltd. “This refurbishment is a fantastic example of community led conservation at its very best. We’re delighted to be working with a group of trustees and friends who have the vision to restore this wonderful building to its rightful place at the heart of the community”.

“The Trustees of the Diamond Jubilee Town are very pleased to be working with Robert Woodhead Ltd on Project Diamond Jubilee and are confident that this will be a fruitful working relationship.” said Chair of Trustees, Pat Frankish. “We are looking forward to handing over the building and working with our contractor’s team to finally realise the dream of having a fully restored and extended Town Hall placed once again at the centre of Kirton in Lindsey”.

Built in 1897, The Diamond Jubilee Town Hall enjoys a commanding presence in the village of Kirton in Lindsey. Built from material recovered from an earlier eighteenth century town gaol, this grade II building is truly fascinating.

Work is scheduled to commence in late August 2009, and will include a small extension, extensive repairs to the roof, along with complete internal refurbishment to provide a first class resource for the people of the town.
