A NEW building at the heart of the site will provide views out to the sur­ rounding countryside. It will connect with (he museum and sound archive creating new accommodation which, together with the existing buildings and the gardener’s stores, will house; • Welcome, introduction, orienta­


tion and retail. • Refreshment facilities. 9 A live video link to the Keep. 9 Permanent and changing high-


quality displays. 9 Immediate access to selected


parts of the sound archive collection. 9 Education and community


meeting space. 9 Fully accessible toilets. 9 Museum storage. 9 Staff accommodation.


Castle and museum as a central and integral part of the town’s identity and leisure experi­ ence. To achieve this it is necessary to create a


site which has maximum physical access and is fully interpreted in terms of its built and natural features and the collections and resources that it houses. The Castle site’s key heritage assets - the


Keep, museum building, the collections, the sound archive and the awesome views of the surrounding countryside - will be brought together into a complementary and cohesive visitor experience and wider resource. It will Iirovide an introduction to the town, a cele­ bration of local history and culture and access to stores and archives for study and enjoyment. It is intended that the museum will develop a local reputation as an enjoy­ able and quality place to visit and a stronger profile within the education and specialist interests sectors. The Castle and museum will add to the


critical mass of things to see and do in Clitheroe and contribute to the growing her­ itage and culture offer of the town and of Kib­ ble Valley.


Exciting times ahead for Castle site The new building would be on two


levels linked by a new easy-going stair and wheelchair-sized lift. The upper floor would become the


main entrance/reception and there would be a disabled car park area with an external platform lift for wheelchair users. The new space in the “v” shaped


walled space, between the museum and archive, would provide recep­ tion, shop, tea-room and toilets with direct access to both the first floor of the museum and the ground floor of


the North West Sound Archive building. A section of floor in the new struc­


ture would be raised above the level of the existing gallery/walkway to provide a tea-room with stunning


views to the east, west and south. The lower level (existing ground level in the museum) would provide secondary secure access and contain new staff/kitchen facilities plus exhi­ bition space giving access to displays in the museum’s ground floor. Planning and listed building appli­ cations are expected to be lodged in


May 2006. Six key themes have been identi­


fied for the museum. 9 The Story of Clitheroe. 9 The history of the Castle, the site and the house.


9 Archaeology. 9 Local geology and the geology of


Lancashire. 9 Landscapes and wildlife. 9 Industrial stories.


THIS part of the Castle site could be the scene of much change (A080805/2d) I

paign” aims to raise around £500,000. A bid for £2m. has already been submitted to the Lot­ tery and the outcome should be known by the end of the year. If the bid is successful, a further


£250,000 has been pledged b' Clitheroe the Future on behalf o' the N o r th 'West Developmen Agency, along with other pots o money from key organisations. The campaign has been launcher to meet the £500,000 shortfall.

THE Castle Museum attracted 11,581 visitors in 2004/5. This excludes school


groups on formal taught ses­ sions which in recent years have been around 1,400 to 1,500 per year. In 1997, 13,700 visitors


v is ited the museum and, with the exception of 2002 when numbers again rose above 13,000, visitors have been in decline. The development plan


aims to achieve and sustain approximately 17,000 visi­ tors a year.


BS There are 652 schools in Lan­


cashire. Together they have 183,132


pupils. In 2002, 1,580 school pupils


visited the Castle and museum. Market research has shown that there is p o ten t ia l for a huge increase.
