began on the purchase and refurbishment of 22 Lowther Street, Whitehaven.
As work progressed on the building, Pat Fitzgerald, Project Manager
and Angela Byrne, Secretary, raised additional funding. The Francis C Scott Foundation, Whitehaven Regeneration Trust, Lloyds TSB Foundation, Harold Bridges Trust, Royal National Institute for the Blind and British Steel donated funds to help with refurbishment and equipment costs. Included in the new building would be ‘The Localizer’, beacons that emit directional sound to guide people out of the building in the event of a fire. The system was designed by Manchester-based company, Sound Alert Ltd, and £6,000 for the system was kindly donated by BNFL. Next Page >> | History Index |
