Hi there,

I am an MA student at the Ironbridge Institute, and I'm writing a thesis on Whitchurch Hospital, Cardiff, and the future of the listed buildings on the site after its closure. I am conducting a market analysis as part of my research, gathering basic information about comparable museums (by subject matter and by location). I have written a survey using googledocs to gather this information in the quickest and easiest way for respondents, and I would be very grateful if you could fill it in on behalf of your museum/heritage site. It shouldn't take more than 2 minutes.

https://spreadsheets.google.com/spreadsheet/viewform?hl=en_US&formkey=dGotQUxWaTZobFRiRC1fZ0MySGRtdnc6MQ#gid=0

Alternatively, I have included below a plain text version of the survey, which can be returned to me by e-mail at [log in to unmask]<mailto:[log in to unmask]> (some intranets block googledocs links).

The information you provide will not be published or visible to anyone else who completes the survey. It will only be seen by official markers from the University of Birmingham. If you have any problems with the survey or questions about the project, please don't hesitate to get in touch.
Many thanks,

Laura Humphreys
