The Victorian building with its unique clock tower was originally the stable block for the adjacent mansion house. In 1986 these outbuildings were converted into the arts centre providing exhibition and workshop spaces, a cafe and craft units. The traditional origins of the building are reflected in the magnificent wrought iron gates which were commissioned for the entrance to the art centre. Sponsored by The Biffa Award is a multi-million pound environment fund managed by the Royal Society of Wildlife Trusts (RSWT) which utilises landfill tax credits donated by Biffa Waste Services. and
Cheshire West and Chester Rural Support Funding Grant Award. PLEASE NOTE OUR ADDRESS CONTAINS FOUNTAIN LANE AS PART OF IT BECAUSE THE POST CODE ON ITS OWN TAKES VISITORS (via Sat Nav) TO HOWEY LANE WHERE THERE IS NO VEHICLE ACCESS
