As you’ll know, each year we set a Planned Maintenance Programme to seek to address issues before they have an impact on the visitor experience and the safe operation of the Museum. This is just a quick update to let you know what we’ve achieved so far this year:
Bottle & Glass – rotten floor joists replaced and floor tiles made good.
Brass Foundry – complete forge rebuild and repairs to electrics and extraction complete. After completion of the works, a Health and Safety Risk Assessment has allowed the Brass Foundry to return to operational status.
Footbridge – total replacement of footbridge by the Newcomen Engine.
The Village – painting of shop frontages and the Penfold Post Box complete.
Drift Mine – all fire doors replaced in accordance with the Fire Risk Assessment.
Tram 49 – electrics and roof works completed to allow Tram 49 to return to operational status. [Tram 49 is currently having its bearings investigated to identify operational issues]
WI – loose floor tiles fixed.
Horse Paddock – half of the rotten paddock fencing replaced (with the assistance of students from Wolverhampton College).
