The Restoration in Photographs
The parquet flooring has been removed for treatment. The wooden structures supporting the two large paintings previously displayed at either end of the Gallery have been removed.
This corridor was built to allow the apprentice potters access to their accomadation from the pottery without walking through the Gallery. This corridor will allow users of the Learning Studio to access the Gallery, through a picture slot.
This space was previously divided by a stud wall to create additional picture storage. It has now been opened back up and will be accessed from a balcony which leads from the new showcase gallery.
This space will be called the Richard Jefferies Interpretation Gallery at the request of a major funder of the Hope Appeal to recognise the contribution of the previous curator of Watts Gallery.
