Construction is proceeding well as buildings have come down and others are going up. Behind the scenes, we are undertaking detailed research for the new displays and we have just launched an important crowdfunding appeal to complete the restoration of our historic boiler.
After huge amounts of planning and preparation, construction has begun! Old buildings and portacabins are being torn down to make way for our new cafe, shop, and flexible exhibitions and learning space. Work has also started on our heritage boiler so that we can run our steam pumping engines again.
After an excellent end to 2017 when we secured extra funding and appointed contractors, we have started 2018 with further preparations for our building and boiler work.
We're ending the year on a high note as we have obtained important extra funding and appointed our building and boiler contractors. We are almost ready for construction!
October was a busy month at the Museum, with several events and visiting groups. However, we are still hard at work on the Museum's redevelopment project as we pack the collections and continue to fundraise.
