There are lots of things that will probably be shown at a future date, which will hopefully be of interest.

I was lucky enough to be taken by Atarah, on one of her early reccies, and was thrilled to see lots of things relating to the Peel Institute/Town Hall.

Beautiful, hand coloured drawings and plans, and lots of original samples, such as mosaics, before the final designs were commissioned for the building.

Fascinating stuff, which deserves to be properly curated, and seen by the public.
