Gordon Thorne, with the Marques of The Official
Opening of Phase two of the Verwood Heathland Heritage
Centre by the Marques of Salisbury, PC, DL occurred on June
13th 2005. He said that “in days of
globalisation Verwood is taking pride in the town's
traditional activities; looking forward, while knowing
details of Verwood's past.” He commented on how the centre
is a good example of the best collaboration between local
government and an independent charity. Mr Thorne (chairman)
thanked all those who had helped so much to get phase 2
built and equipped.

Phased work on "The Heritage Centre".
The motivating force for the project was to preserve the old Pottery Workshop which stood in danger of demolition. At present there is no other hall in Verwood where an exhibition can be on show for more than a day or at the most two. The restored workroom and in time the studio enables the Heritage Centre, Verwood Historical Society, artists and craftspeople and similar organisations to leave their work on display for longer periods for the greater convenience and enjoyment of the public. |
