RAILINGS PART OF COMMUNITY CENTRE REFURBISHMENT
 The
Summit Centre, which is part of the miner’s welfare
centre for the East Kirkby Miner’s Welfare Trust in
Nottinghamshire has undergone a major transformation to
improve and upgrade its facilities. Local environmental
regeneration charity, Groundwork Ashfield & Mansfield,
designed and implemented the scheme.
Part of the refurbishment was the installation of new
railings and gates, which were design assisted,
manufactured and supplied by local bespoke architectural
metalwork manufacturer Alpha Rail. The Summit Centre had
very specific requirements as to what they wanted, which
included the design of a peaked summit logo which was
emphasised by being powder coated in an orange shade to
symbolise the summit of the local pit, now closed. The
pit played a hugely important part in the community and
now the Summit Centre provides a hub for a wide range of
activities, including a fitness suite, play group,
courses, such as painting classes, martial arts and a
café/bar and meeting room facilities.
Kay Appleby, manager of the Summit Centre, said: “This
building plays a hugely important part in this area. We
chose railings and gates from Alpha Rail to provide
protection to the building as well as a graphic
demonstration of the history of the centre. The railings
have a visually striking effect, which has had a great
response from visitors here. We were delighted that a
local company could meet our requirements as this
building is so important to the community in this area.”
Alpha Rail supplied 11m of 1950mm high feature fencing,
70m of standard vertical bar railings and two gates.
This included site survey and installation to meet the
project’s strict timescales. The fencing was supplied
through landscape contractor Crestra, who completed the
installation.
Phil Ball, Sales Director of Alpha Rail, explains: “This
was a really satisfying project to be involved with.
Many of our staff live in the Kirkby area and, as a
local company, we feel like we have been able to play a
part in this centre’s history. The high quality
manufacture of the railings and gates and the fact that
they are powder coated means they will give exceptional
performance for many years.”
Alpha Rail, which is based in Nottinghamshire, has over
25 years’ experience in urban regeneration, green space
and park restoration. The company provides a bespoke
service for architectural metalwork and has supplied
many prestigious projects as well as many new and
refurbished housing estates with new gates and railings,
making a real difference to the local community.
