The Iron Bridge Project Diary

[admin]

The project diary has been updated this morning with details about the opening ceremony on 22nd June, some great new CGI "animatics" and the fact that we are now back to a single web cam because the scaffold is due to be removed at any moment. The opening ceremony will be added to the events section soon, just waiting for a couple of details to be finalised.

We are pleased to announce that the Iron Bridge Restoration Project full grant application was submitted to the Heritage Lottery Fund in January 2007.

Our thanks go to the extraordinary number of local people and organisations who have helped us get this far.

The HLF will advise their decision in June this year and, of course, you should learn of it here first. Cross your fingers everyone!
