Crittall spans the Globe

Story

A major live arts venue, that in its heyday hosted The Beatles, Buddy Holly, the Rolling Stones and Cilla Black, has been restored to its art deco glory with the help of Crittall windows.

The Globe, Stockton, is the biggest live entertainment venue between Leeds and Newcastle and will re-open shortly with a capacity of 1,650 people seated or up to 3,000 standing.

The re-birth is eagerly awaited as the theatre has been closed for the past 45 years. A major refurbishment and restoration programme has been led in recent times by Stockton-on-Tees Council, supported by grant aid from the National Lottery Heritage Fund.

The Grade II listed building dates from 1935 and was designed by architect Percy L Browne. Crittall windows were installed originally, and these have been replicated in the restoration by the use of bespoke Corporate W20 profiles finished in Turkish Blue.

Crittall also supplied its Cold Formed Doors for the three entrance doors and an additional power assisted door for disabled access.
