The recent planning permission for the £4.5 million redevelopment of Vestry House Museum is designed to enhance accessibility and community engagement, promising to welcome up to 80,000 visitors annually.
The redevelopment will consolidate the museum into one accessible ground floor, while refurbishing the 18th and 19th-century building and reopening windows for natural light, improving the experience for visitors.
Supported by the borough's Levelling Up Fund, the project aims to provide educational opportunities for 60 school visits each year and create 60 training jobs for local youth.
With plans to reveal original interior features and promote an inclusive environment through new services and creative workspaces, the museum's transformation highlights a commitment to preserving local history.
