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.

In preparation for work starting on St Editha’s Square, a subtronic survey has been carried out to map all the power cables, data cables, drainage and sewerage pipes hiding under the surface. 

The different colours all mean a different utility, and arrows and numbers show direction and depth in the ground. It’s important to know this information so all can be protected throughout construction work.

• Plans include landscaping work, new paving and benches
• Part of Tamworth Borough Council’s wider regeneration plans which mean over £21m invested in Tamworth town centre
