There’s been plenty happening behind the scenes at the Elizabethan Gallery over the last few months, and it’s lovely to see the restoration moving forward.
The windows have had some much-needed TLC, with broken glass replaced and the leadwork repaired. We’ve also been busy decorating and restoring the doors, giving this special building the care and attention it deserves.
One particularly exciting discovery has been the original Victorian tiled floor, which was hidden in the corridor. Work has now started to restore it and bring it back into use. It’s been a real joy to uncover another piece of the building’s history.
We’re due to move into the planning stage later this month, taking us another step closer to bringing the Elizabethan Gallery back into use. There’s still work ahead, but it’s exciting to see everything beginning to come together.
