Over the summer, building contractors have been in Thomas Whitty House refurbishing the ground floor, following the successful Heritage Lottery bid.
By October, they had put in a lift to the first floor so that the Function Room has disabled access, refurbished the original carpet factory area and part of the Drill Hall behind, and created an office and storage area. The Function Room has been re named the Bradshaw Room to recognise the generous financial help given to us by Thomas Whitty’s great, great, great, great, great grandson – Peter Bradshaw, who lives in Vancouver.
