Stained glass fully restored on former Co-op

Stunning stained-glass window in the original 19th Century former Co-op on Colehill now fully restored and looking fabulous.

A specialist heritage glazing restorer has repaired and encapsulated the original windows to retain the original details.

The building is being developed into a new enterprise centre for local business use. Many of the original features have been carefully restored. For a glimpse inside, watch our video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SaFiJ0aUOf0

All this work is part of ambitions regeneration plans to transform the town centre into a vibrant, thriving place that meets the needs of residents, visitors and local businesses.

The £21million regeneration project will see:

• A new Enterprise Centre in the original 19th Century former Co-operative building on Colehill, an addition to the existing enterprise centre at Corporation Street. 
• Remedial works to preserve historic vacant properties on Market Street (opposite Peel Café) with a wider footbridge into the castle grounds
• Redeveloped building replicating the original Georgian style of the former Peel Café, bringing a building back into active use. This is now in the hands of Nationwide Building Society who are finalising the internal fittings before opening.
• Middle Entry renovations which will see some vacant units demolished to be replaced by a new flexible, multi-use building for independent small businesses.
• Public realm works that will link all the projects together.

Project funded from the government’s Future High Street Fund.
