heritage & historic buildings project report
‘Greenwich Market moved to its current
location in 1831 and has
continued to adapt over the centuries’
One of the key metalworks on the project created by sub-contractor McNealy Brown is the stainless steel pavilion in Fry’s Court
tle manner and sympathetic approach there is nothing to sug- gest he approved of it. “The Hopkins scheme was a project of its time, it was the
product of a boom,” McIlry explains. “We asked, where do we go from here? It’s a World Heritage Site, a conservation area; sensitive culturally, socially and in a community sense.” He describes the overall design approach as: “Starting again from scratch, the place became the client: the market traders, resi- dents, shops and businesses above.”
Consultation
The extensive period of consultation included numerous local visits by the design team, ensuring people knew this was not the massive change previously proposed. Demonstrating what maintaining the heritage fabric yet revising it for today’s aspirations meant in practice was not easy. A model of the entire island site was made and displayed at two public exhibitions. A total of three exhibitions were staged, to which
councillors, stakeholders, residents and traders were invited. Feedback was then compiled and responded to, informing the
next stages and leading through to the planning process. “Greenwich Hospital is a significant landowner in the area,”
says McIlroy, “able to make masterplanning statements to improve the look of the whole town centre in one scheme. At the same time, the local authority is the Royal Borough of Greenwich so we had to listen to them, keep avenues of communication open and understand where their conserva- tion and planning officers were coming from.”
