Steelway was involved in restoring the Grade II listed Moor Street Station in Birmingham in 2002, beginning their reputation for refurbishment and restoration work on historic sites. The client wanted to transform the derelict site into a nationally acclaimed project, requiring Steelway's ability to replicate early Victorian designs and work within budgets and timelines. The restored station was award-winning and fit for the 21st century while maintaining its historic qualities. Steelway has continued working on the ongoing development at Moor Street for a decade and has taken on many other award-winning restoration projects throughout the country.

Birmingham - Moor Street Station
Steelway’s involvement in the 2002 restoration of the Grade II listed Moor Street
Station in Birmingham was to be the beginning of the creating of new opportunities
for both Steelway and for clients alike. With increasing demand for refurbishment
and in particular replica and restoration work across the network we have the
ability to replicate design concepts from drawings that often date back to the early
Victorian age.
Clearly a proven track record in engineering was part of the clients belief in
Steelway and backed up with Link-Up approval with proof were all important parts
of the equation. The client had great ambitions and wanted his derelict site to win
national accolades for the transformation that was to come. There would be no
instances where inappropriate 'off the shelf' items would be acceptable and with
the Steelway approach client’s satisfaction is paramount. Added to all of this we
were aware of the real world where the need to work within budgets and also to a
programme is essential.
The result was a national award winning restored and enhanced station fit for the
21st century but with all the qualities of a bygone age. Our work commenced on
site almost a decade ago and our involvement in the ongoing development there
continues to this day. In the intervening years our reputation has grown and the
scope of our own activities on other historic sites have continued to trail blaze,
resulting in many more award winning projects throughout the country.
