Tunbridge Wells Station was suffering from severe rain ingress through the internal loft area, drainage blocked (unrepairable) and the lower roof had suffered vandalism, theft and graffiti. Its Clock tower had no safe means of maintenance access and externally, it had severe timber rot, delaminated lead and corrosion to all 4 faces as well as heavy rain ingress and an expired weather vane with no lightening conductor.
Team GSM won the National Railway Heritage award for works completed on the Clock Tower, on behalf of its client, Network Rail. The awards ceremony took place 4th December 2019 at the Merchant Taylor’s Hall in London, presented by HRH The Princess Royal. We strive to work on these projects, continuously proud of our highly skilled tradesmen for their work and commitment.
