Dear All,
We have been looking at enclosing our farm gallery building to help preserve the our collection of local farming equipment and improve the display etc. It is missing a final wall, which was meant to be glazed but this wasn’t finished, so it’s open to the elements
on one side. This gallery space (built in the 1970s) is in a separate building in the garden of our main museum but as it is in the curtilage of our grade 2* listed building, this presents a planning challenge.
Following a less than promising conversation with the conservation officer we wondered if any of you had examples of work done to help protect your collection/ improve the visitor experience by enclosing/updating/ improving a building that isn’t listed but
is in the curtilage of a listed building.
Kind regards,
Holly Trubshawe
