New signs of the times for Lock Up Heritage Building

No longer do people have to ask: what is that building? 

Because when they walk past the now fully-restored former Lock-up, Police-Station, Town Hall and  Armoury passers-by will have noticed two magnificent bi-lingual signs recently erected on the Lock Up Heritage Building - one in Berwyn Street and one in Victoria Square.

These signs were designed by Jessica Coath, graphic designer and daughter of Jamie Coath, the architect responsible for the design and implementation of the restoration of the semi-derelict building known as the Old Armoury acquired in 2013 by the Armoury Conservation Trust.

The sign over the shop in Berwyn Street was hand-painted by Jessica and erected by Jamie, Jess and Justin Langford in November.

The Armoury Conservation Trust is delighted both with the sign and the hand-painted logo over the wooden door.

Last week, the Trust welcomed on site Llangollen Tidy Town Team to erect the sign over the main entrance to the Lock Up Heritage Centre in Victoria Square. There has been no sign there since the Eisteddfod vacated the building to move to the Pavilion in 1998.

This was by no means an easy task for the Tidy Town Team, but they tackled it with skill and inventiveness, and made a great job of it.   

They also helped ACT erect a seat outside the studio flat in Hall Street, which is much appreciated by people needing a rest for a while on their way to and from town.

ACT has expressed its grateful thanks to Jamie and Jessica Coath and the Tidy Town Team for their work and effort in designing, producing and erecting these signs for the Lock Up Heritage Centre.
