The Octagon Theatre

The Octagon Theatre is owned by South Somerset District Council.

Kirkham Board have acted as Project Managers, Quantity Surveyors, and CDM Coordinators on several schemes at the Theatre, ranging from complete refurbishment of the auditorium and front of house areas, to the creation of a large metal clad steel framed 'scene dock' extension; as well as other associated works such as re-roofing, replacing the entire mechanical ventilation system and the like.

Castle Cary Flax Mills

The Higher Flax Mills is one of the largest and best preserved factories of the once substantial Somerset and Dorset flax industry formerly producing linen warps, rope, twine and webbing from flax, hemp and tow. The complex is remarkably complete and includes a water and steam powered flax mill, warehousing offices, one of two millponds and parts of the open ropewalks; a rare survival.

The mills represent an exemplary example of an industrial business of its time. Suffice to say all the buildings within the 'complex' are listed.

Kirkham Board have carried out several projects at the mills, and have acted in Architectural, Quantity Surveying, and Project Managerial roles; as well as undertaking numerous 'building surveys' in order to establish conditional benchmarks and to prioritise the various preventative maintenance works required over the years.
