Work is progressing on the restoration of Bradford’s Grade II listed St George’s Hall, which is part funded by a £1.5m grant from the Heritage Lottery Fund, with the final part of the roof being completely removed by contractors last week, two weeks ahead of schedule.
The work to remove the roof of this Bradford Council building has taken four weeks rather than the expected six; this is despite complications with the discovery of problems with work undertaken when large parts of the roof were replaced in 1983 after it was destroyed by fire.
All the works, materials and methods of installation will be checked by the Council’s conservation officer to ensure it complies with the expectations associated with listed building status.
Work to restore the roof is expected to take around 6 months.
The council hopes the refurbishment of St George’s Hall, one of the oldest remaining concert halls in the UK, will ensure that the heritage building is maintained and brought up to standard as a top-class venue adding to the cultural sites Bradford offers.
