The scaffolding is being gradually dismantled over the next fortnight
The full impact of the Harris Museum’s external facelift will be on show within the next fortnight as the scaffolding that has clad the building for the past year is gradually dismantled.
However, the Local Democracy Reporting Service understands that the scaffolding will also soon be gone, meaning that the cleaned stonework and re-gilded inscriptions will be able to be fully appreciated. Perhaps less obvious, but now also complete, are the window repairs that have been carried out.
Lead contractor Conlon Construction told the LDRS earlier this month that it expected to be off the site by next autumn, at which point fitters will move in to enable the museum to be repopulated with its collections. “The Harris Your Place project is a testament to our commitment to enriching lives and preserving our heritage. Together, we embark on a journey where the past inspires the future,” he added.
