Dear All
Chorley Borough Council (Lancashire) is hoping to put together a Heritage
Lottery Bid this Sept for Park redevelopments. This would include Astley
Hall Museum & Art Gallery and the surrounding parkland and outbuildings. I
am interested in the redevelopment of the Coach House in Astley Park which
would make a super Life Long Learning/Education Centre.
Does anyone have any experience of setting up such a centre from scratch?
The Coach House is Grade II listed, but most of the inside has been altered
at some time. I would be interested in coming to visit venues who have set
up centres in order to learn what has worked and what has not worked. It
doesn't matter if your centre is in a new or old building - I am really
interested in where the cloakrooms, toilets, etc. are situated and how you
have made use of space which is adaptable and accessible for all age groups.
I am just preparing my part of the bid before another department decides on
a different use for the building. Hope you can help.
Many thanks in advance.
