West Haven Maltings is a Grade II Listed Building located in the Central Grimsby Conservation Area in North East Lincolnshire.  A granary warehouse was constructed on the site between 1821 and 1838 and later converted for use as a maltings.  In the 1930s the original malt kiln was transformed into a billiards hall.

The Horizon Youth Zone charity recently developed the building to provide a safe, inspiring place for young people aged 8-19 (and up to 25 for those with additional needs) to spend their leisure time.  The project was delivered in partnership with North East Lincolnshire Council, English Heritage and the local business community and comprises a sports hall, climbing wall and other facilities.

Clement W20 steel windows with G+ bars were specified to replace the original metal fenestration, providing a close match to the original windows with an improved specification.  The windows are painted RAL 9016 (Traffic White) and accessorized with Brook handles powder coated to match the frames.

W20 windows were designed in the 1960s for buildings where strong, durable frames, efficient opening casements and hard wearing fittings are required.  The Clement W20 range is available with multi point locking to PAS 24 or traditional single point locking for security in Conservation Areas.

Clement Windows Group offers an innovative range of steel windows, doors, screens and conservation rooflights for both private residences and commercial projects.

Believed to be the only playhouse built in Great Britain during the Second World War and home to The Progressive Players since 1939, The Little Theatre remains Gateshead’s only theatre to this day.

Closed during the pandemic, funding was completed on an extension to the theatre creating a new rehearsal room above the auditorium.

New steel windows from the Clement W20 range were chosen for this new space.  The new metal frames are polyester powder painted in Jet Black (matt) and great care was taken choosing the glass for the two striking modular bays at the front of the building: SunGuard SuperNeutral 62/34 was chosen for the outer pane, offering very high light transmission while ensuring energy savings through solar protection and thermal insulation, krypton gas was used for the centre of the pane and 4mm of toughened Planibel Grey was used for the inner pane.

The Progressive Players were founded in 1920.  The theatre opened with a performance of ‘A Midsummer Night’s Dream’ and today the Players produce ten plays a year.

The new rehearsal room has the same dimensions as the main auditorium stage allowing a smooth transfer from rehearsals to final production.  It is acoustically isolated allowing rehearsals to proceed even during a performance and was designed to be in keeping with the look and feel of the original theatre.  Fitted with modern lighting and sound systems, the rehearsal room has the latest connectivity and networking capabilities.

It is hoped that the refurbished Little Theatre will not only be used for the Players’ rehearsals, visiting hires and community groups, but also to accommodate a youth theatre group.
