Pump Rooms Open Day

Another successful Pump Rooms open day was held on Saturday 10th November 2007.

Talk by Colin Richards

On Wed Nov 7: Colin Richards, Conservation Officer for South Shropshire District Council (which covers Burford) gave an interesting talk at the Kings Head, Cross St, Tenbury Wells.

Colin is a real 'hands' on Conservation Officer who can really educate and motivate the Property Owners, their designers and architects, and the craftsmen doing the work.

The talk was accompanied by an interesting selection of photo's, showing a wide range of subjects such as the making of bricks at Acton Scott, several 'Grand Design' projects completed locally, and the results of poor renovations carried out over the years.

Pump Rooms Open Day

The Tenbury Wells historic pump rooms were reopened on Sunday 4th November 2007 by Mayor Cllr & Mrs Bob Martin.

In his opening speech the Mayor paid tribute to the role played by the partnership between Advantage West Midlands and Malvern Hills District Council.

He went on to say that he hoped this opening ceremony would be symbolic of a new Tenbury.

Following the opening ceremony the Pump Rooms were opened to the public for tours, including areas which had not previously been available until the Malvern Hills DC office had been vacated on Friday.
