The Project

Derby Market Hall has been a project undertaken by Derby City Council to help transform this historic building into a modern retail and leisure destination in the heart of the city. The revamped market hall will include traditional and themed markets, spaces for events and one-off or pop-up uses, and spaces for individual makers, food and drink.

NRA worked closely with Wates Construction to set about the sensitive restoration of the Victorian building that included masonry repairs internal cleaning of the roof structure, before the challenging and extensive heritage glazed roof replacement works. Midland Lead provided the lead that was used on the external frame that needed to imitate the original roofing design to stay true to its Victorian heritage.
