One of The Albrighton & District
Civic Society’s key interests is:-
v To stop the decline
in the appearance of the former ‘Station Masters House’ building
v To bring the building
into use as a local museum, arts & crafts centre.
v To safeguard the future
of the whole station for rail users.
To do this funding is
necessary and The Albrighton Civic Society continues with their application
to The Heritage Lottery Fund & other funders to raise these funds.
Support from users and
local residents is necessary & vital in order to bring the listed Station Building out of dilapidation and
enhance the appearance of this area of our village.
To ensure that the arts
and crafts activities of the centre will be received positively we
are intending to host regular Arts & Crafts Fayres within the village and we need your help to ensure we promote
our local arts & crafts men and women.
We are looking for local
businesses or individuals within the arts & crafts sector, both amateur and professional.
Initially, we would like
to offer exhibition space at a regular craft fayre within our village.
The Station Heritage Centre
could display your wares on a permanent basis and become YOUR shop
front.
An Exhibition Gallery,
Museum & Craft Workshops will be integral to the Heritage Centre.
All interested parties
will be welcome to attend a meeting in early May 2013 to find out more,
without obligation. This date will be announced.
To be sent further details
of the meeting please send your contact details, together with an overview
of your arts & crafts activities, to Sarah Baker.
