CPD: Stone Repairs to Walmer Crescent


Tuesday, 15th April 2025 | 12:00pm (noon) – 1:00pm | Meet outside Cessnock Subway Station, G51 1AT

This CPD offers a training opportunity for built heritage professionals to view the stone repair works currently underway at the Category A-listed Walmer Crescent.

Designed by Alexander “Greek” Thomson, the Crescent is a terraced row of tenements. In 2024, a significant bulge was noticed in the stonework at the base of part of the terrace, which required emergency propping up. Works are now underway to understand the causes and fix the damage to prevent further structural problems. Participants will get to see the works in-situ, and learn more about general stonework repairs.

This CPD will be outside so please dress for the weather. PPE is required (hard hats & hi-vis). We can provide PPE, or feel free to bring your own if you have it.

£10 per person / £5 for students
