Leon and the team over at the Heritage Centre have announced that despite the recent setback of discovering that they needed a complete rewiring for the house and buildings, that the opening day is still going to be Tuesday 15th June.
He said in a recent interview with “This is Lancashire“:
“We are halfway through the job, but I could really do with some help from the public and Fred’s fans to pay for this. It has completely wiped me out.
We will be opening on Tuesday, make no mistake about that. We have worked very hard and we have complied with everything that has been asked of us.
I am still glad that I bought the property and I am in love with the place.”
FH Brundle have recently donated fencing and mesh for around the mine shaft, as well as many members of the public donating money as part of the “Sponsor-a-Brick” competition and purchasing official Heritage Centre Memorabilia.
Leon also mentioned that they have made their first group booking:
The first coach party is booked for September and we have some people booked in for the tour on Tuesday. It is going to be a very historic day because it will be the first time we have done a tour of the new heritage centre.
