Usually the construction industry is completely shut-down for the full 2 weeks over Christmas. This year we've broken that golden rule by starting a project on site literally days before Christmas. The next phase of work at Shoreditch Town Hall started as soon as the Christmas events programme started to ease up, and is cramming in the installation of a new goods lift and extended WCs over the winter quiet period. This is at the same time as the previous phase - reinstating the balcony tiering and seating that will make the Assembly Hall an 800-seat venue - is coming to completion, and the foyer is being repainted at long last.



Below shows 1930's terrazzo wall panelling that had been hidden under layers of paint, being exposed in the WCs. Who says toilets can't be glamorous!
