Lottery-funded project shortlisted to appear in television show – November 11th 2011

  by: admin - Category:

A lottery-funded project based in Sheffield in the UK has been shortlisted to appear in a television show presented by British TV presenter Sara Cox and comedian Rufus Hound.

The Manor Lodge ruins and Turret House project has seen a new discovery centre built with UK National Lottery finances.

Some of the displays that have been set up thanks to the lotto cash injection are the story of when it was a temporary prison for Mary Queen of Scots and the old farm buildings on the estate, which include the old tools and equipment that workers would have used before mechanisation.

A spokesperson for the project said if the project is features in Cox and Hound Hit The Road it will give the presenters the chance to enjoy “mucking out the pigs, treading in the footsteps of Mary Queen of Scots or unearthing archaeological treasures” and invited people to go to its Facebook page and vote to see it on the TV.

Last week, the BBC reported that the Heritage Lottery Fund is set to give the Colwyn Bay Pier a new lease of life thanks to a multi-million pound lotto funding boost.
