Project

Gleeson Homes transformed the former 19th-century Nether Edge Hospital and its 10-acre estate into a modern living space while retaining the original buildings' characteristics. Built in 1841, the Tudor Gothic style hospital and its Victorian apartments were meticulously restored, with new phases designed to integrate seamlessly with the existing structures.

Solution

Marshalls supplied Cromwell Pitched Face Reconstructed Stone Walling to match the aesthetics and versatility required by Gleeson Homes. Made from Yorkstone aggregates, the walling's unique manufacturing process ensured each stone's originality to help enhance the development's appeal. Marshalls provided 6,652 m² of walling and worked closely with the developer to ensure timely deliveries and support throughout the construction.

Outcome

The project was completed ahead of schedule and won the regeneration and conservation award at the Pro Yorkshire Awards, organised by the Royal Institute of Chartered Surveyors (RICS). The development has been described as ‘genuinely unique’ and successfully transformed the area into a vibrant community space.
