Our work for English Heritage at Clifford’s Tower demonstrates our skills in designing technically challenging and appropriate interventions within the context of a Scheduled Ancient Monument, improving access and visitor facilities whilst fostering better interpretation of the site and Monument’s history. A timber structure has been installed to partially cover the ruin and provide fantastic viewing and activity space at roof level. Suspended metal walkways give access to previously unseen features at first floor level, enhance access to the roof and help celebrate the ruin. The structure of the intervention rests on a raft foundation, which spreads load without impact on archaeology within the tower.
