A full restoration of a Victorian public house for Thatchers Cider
Sports & Leisure - The South, England
A full restoration of a Victorian public house for Thatchers Cider in Somerset, taking it from a building at near collapse to a popular Cider House and Kitchen, at the heart of Sandford Village.
As an important building in the community, it was important that the as much of the original frontage was retained. The rear 62-seat restaurant comprises a green-oak, glazed barn structure, and much of the materials throughout were locally sourced.
The country pub building had stood in the village for over 140 years and required careful retrofitting to protect its history.
Our engineers worked with the original historic fabric, conserving it where possible and introducing new structures where additional strength was required. Significant use was made of exposed feature steelwork with highly detailed joints to blend with Victorian railway engineering and new stonework.
Key Points:
Sensitive restoration of a historic building.
Use of steel, timber, masonry, reinforced concrete and green oak.
We understand the importance of conserving and sensitively restoring heritage structures so that their stories can continue and our connection with history is preserved. Our solutions are driven by our commitment to be sympathetic to the historically significant Monuments and Listed structures we design for, redevelop and regenerate.
