The National Lottery Heritage Fund: Celebrating the innovative buildings, transport and technology that helped shape the modern world.
Since 1994 the National Lottery Heritage Fund has awarded over £630million to more than 1,600 industrial, maritime and transport projects across the UK. They want to help more people conserve their local industrial heritage and pass on skills to younger generations.
What does it support? Projects funded include:
- printing presses
- pumping engines
- windmills
- historic ships
- locomotives
- natural landscapes transformed by industry
- Project ideas
Funding could help people:
- uncover and record people’s memories of our industrial past
- give a disused site a new purpose
- restore and maintain operating machinery
- reveal the history of industry in your area
- explore the nation’s network of canals
- provide staffed visitor facilities and learning resources
- help young people learn new skills and care for their heritage
