Great to see this project featured by BBC News.
CRK Engineering are proud to have delivered the metalwork package for the restoration of Hull’s historic National Picture Theatre on Beverley Road.
The Grade II listed building was badly damaged during the Hull Blitz in 1941 and has remained as an important part of the city’s wartime history ever since. Following an extensive restoration, the site will now reopen as a memorial, education and community space.
Working on a building with this level of history brings its own challenges, with the new metalwork having to integrate carefully with the retained and restored historic structure.
A great project to have been involved with and one the CRK team can be proud of.
Thanks to hobson and porter for involving CRK Engineering in such a significant local heritage project.
Always good to see work manufactured and installed by our team contributing to the restoration of an important part of Hull’s history.
