Villagers

Marsden Mechanics, founded 160 years ago, started to fall into disrepair and it was taken over by a community trust. Recently a major new Lottery grant has helped to secure its physical upkeep and Marsden Community Trust's role in looking after the building for the community for the foreseeable future. Plans are now being drawn up to begin the restoration work, on the clock tower, interior and exterior building works. Pictured Felicity Fuller and Louise Warwick. Image by James Hardisty
