Description
Unity Hall Windows
Mr Garry Webb on behalf of Nelson council contacted us with an
initial idea to replicate 4 windows that were originally in the
Wellbeing Unity Hall in Nelson, Lancashire. After an initial
meeting and physically seeing one of the original windows (now
in a backlit case in Clarion House) we took a template of the
original to work to. Both the large windows were made from this
template requiring us to source colours of glass similar to the
original window. Hundreds of pieces of glass in the intricate
design were hand cut. The top two panels had to be re designed
and replicated from a 2” black and white photograph as there
was no physical window to take a template from. The project
took over a year from the original meeting to completion as the
council were awaiting Lottery Grant funding for the windows.
Once we had fitted the windows we protected them with 8mm
polycarbonate sheeting which will ensure the windows will not
be damaged from outside.
We are very proud of these windows and how well they look as
they are a reproducton of how the windows looked many years
ago.
