Cornwall Heritage Trust invites both its members and the public to join the team for a special community consultation day designed to help shape the future of its newly acquired historic properties on Bodmin Moor – the Prince of Wales Engine House and Houseman’s Engine House (formerly Minions Heritage Centre).
These Grade II Listed engine houses were this year entrusted to the independent charity by Cornwall Council.
The event will take place on Wednesday 25th November from 1.30pm – 3.30pm in the Church Hall beside Saint Paul’s Church in Upton Cross.
The consultation day is designed to invite and encourage people to learn more about these places and help shape their future. Attendees will be encouraged to share their memories, ideas and suggestions for how the engine houses could be used, interpreted and developed in the years ahead.
Carolyn Kennett, Sites Manager, said:
“We know how much the local community values these historic buildings and want to ensure they are at the heart of their next chapter. We hugely value your time and input, and we look forward to welcoming you to be part of the conversation about their future.”
“As well as hearing your ideas and aspirations for the sites, we’d love you to share your memories and experiences of these special places. If you have any historic photographs or documents, we’d be especially keen to see them.”
Refreshments will be available, and members of Cornwall Heritage Trust’s staff will be on hand throughout to answer your questions and gather feedback.
This consultation has been funded by the National Lottery Heritage Fund. We’re hugely grateful for its support.
