Morgan Sindall Construction has completed the restoration of Grade II-listed West Bromwich Town Hall and Library five weeks ahead of schedule.

The town hall was built in 1874-1875 by Alexander & Henman. The project included extensive external refurbishment to preserve the building and restore its strong presence on West Bromwich High Street.

The Morgan Sindall team preserved many of the civic building’s original features, including the heritage stonework and timber sash windows. It also created a watertight envelope to allow the local community to use the building again.

Sandwell Metropolitan Borough Council appointed the contractor through the Constructing West Midlands Framework.

Richard Fielding, area director for Morgan Sindall Construction in the Midlands, said: “[The West Bromwich Town Hall and Library is] a landmark which will play a crucial role in the new Civic Quarter, revitalising the heart of West Bromwich.

“What was extra special about this project, is that it’s a building that has been restored for the community, by the community, with 50% of the supply chain spend within 20 miles of the project, as well as several initiatives and charitable donations that have taken place throughout.”
