We are pleased to announce the successful completion of our latest project at Amberley Museum, a significant heritage site in West Sussex.

Over the past year, our team has been dedicated to the careful conservation and restoration of this open-air museum, which is renowned for celebrating the industrial history and crafts of the 19th and 20th centuries.

 Amberley Museum, set within a 36-acre site that was once a chalk quarry and lime works, holds the status of a Scheduled Ancient Monument. Our project aimed to respect and preserve this historical significance while addressing modern needs.

 One of the primary objectives was the removal of various 1980s interventions, including a shipping container placed in the railway siding, to allow for the careful conservation of the hidden historic structure. This intervention enabled us to restore the original relationship between the railway line, the adjacent lime kilns, and the bagging shed, reinstating the site’s historical integrity.

 Furthermore, we focused on improving accessibility throughout the museum. The introduction of new ramps, walkways, and glazed doors ensures that the museum is more inclusive, allowing a wider range of visitors to engage with this important cultural asset.

 This project highlights our commitment to preserving heritage while enhancing functionality, and we are proud to have contributed to the ongoing legacy of Amberley Museum.
