This latest bid follows after 12 months of work to devise a scheme for this prominent town centre building
A local authority has submitted its £5million bid for National Lottery cash to transform one of its landmark town centre buildings into an arts, culture and heritage centre.
Now the authority has formally submitted its £5million bid to The National Lottery Heritage Fund for the interior of the building with illustrations of how it will look if completed. Council bosses hope this will be a further step on the transformational journey of a heritage-led future for Accrington and Hyndburn and will transform the Market Chambers building opposite the Grade II listed Market Hall.
