Midlands site tours take in both heritage and high-rise

Greyfriars
The new South Central tower will feature a rooftop sky garden

On 2 March Heritage Lincolnshire is offering members a site visit to England’s oldest surviving friary building – Greyfriars, Lincoln – dating from the early 13th century.

The team will talk about the ‘Re-Imagining Greyfriars: 800 years of stories in the making’ project, which aims to repair the Grade I-listed building and bring it back into use as a multi-use heritage destination (see p48).

On 9 March, join Quantem and Wates Construction for a tour of the new 30-storey South Central residential scheme in Essex Street, Birmingham, designed to echo the city’s terracotta heritage. The 98m tower will deliver 166 apartments, a ground floor commercial unit and a rooftop sky garden.
