Conservation Experience

Work Experience with Bowman Riley Architects & Interiors

THE GEORGE HOTEL

HUDDERSFIELD ~ AUGUST 2021

Work experience with Bowman Riley Architects introduced me to architectural conservation. Contribution to the restoration of The George Hotel in Huddersfield, through diagnostic observation and surface mapping of masonry deterioration, enabled direct analytical engagement with historic fabric and material evidence. This clarified the interpretative frameworks of conservation and informed the intervention assessment, evidencing the precision and discernment the discipline requires.

Site Experience:

During my work experience I also assisted the architects at Bowman Riley with the renovation of the The George Hotel, focusing on the improvement of the historical stonework on the façade of the building.

The George Hotel in Huddersfield, West Yorkshire

It was in the George Hotel, Huddersfield, on 29 August 1895 that 21 Lancashire and Yorkshire clubs held a meeting and by a majority of 20 to 1 voted to secede from the Rugby Football Union to set up their own Northern Rugby Football Union. In 1922 this became the Rugby Football League.
