Stoney Cove is one of the deepest inland diving centres in the UK. The former quarry site is an internationally renowned dive training centre used by both the public and military in dive training.
Nemo’s is a bar and restaurant which has operated from the site for a number of years. The access to the bar was via a narrow walkway on the upper level. The lower level of the building was a former nightclub which had fallen into disrepair although the glass dance floor over the water was still in place!
Hayward Architects gained planning for a replacement walkway which will more than double the amount of outdoor seating for the restaurant with a triangular cantilevered section over the water. AS part of the works a whole section of the restaurant and nightclub is being re-built to provide support. This section of the building sits within the water creating unique challenges.
Further updates will be added to this page as the works progress.
