>> Heritage Awards 2009 <<

The first Group Heritage Award was awarded to The Town Range Barracks in recognition of the redevelopment of this early 19^th Century row of military barracks into apartments.  

The second Group Heritage Award was granted to The Old Naval Hospital in recognition of the sensitive way the site has been redeveloped. 

In both instances, the heritage-sensitive approach to the redevelopment of these sites is a credit to all involved, developers, architects, contractors, and the residents who are now the custodians of these buildings. 

The first Individual Heritage Award was awarded to Richard Labrador for the restoration of John Snow House an ex-MOD married quarter in the South District dating to 1903. 

The second individual Heritage Award was awarded to Wayne Estella for the recovery of 5 Hargrave’s Parade an example of Gibraltar’s local architecture which has been brought back into use as a home from near-derelict condition.

The Awards were presented by the Hon. Peter Caruana, Chief Minister, at the Trust's office, the Main Guard.
