English Heritage awarded a commendation to both organisations for the restoration of Corngreaves Hall in Cradley Heath.

The historic property was restored and turned into flats after years of standing empty and being targeted by thieves and vandals.

The council awarded the project to GR8 Space after carrying out a tendering exercise which attracted six proposals.

Restoration was monitored and approved by a council appointed surveyor and Planning Services advised GR8 Space on the proposed scheme.

Sandwell Council’s deputy leader Councillor Steve Eling said: “I am proud English Heritage has recognised our efforts and those of GR8 Space to protect the borough’s heritage for future generations.”

Corngreaves Hall was bought by the former Rowley Regis Council in 1950. The Timbertree housing estate was built on land acquired with the Hall.
