Description | A unique, charming and architecturally significant building in the heart of Sudbury Parish. The Grade II listed, Sudbury Gasworks was built c. 1874 and produced gas for Sudbury Hall and many houses in the village, until being dismantled in the 1930s and falling into disrepair. Having been placed on the Derbyshire buildings at risk register, in 2013, a group of local volunteers formed Sudbury Gasworks Restoration Trust and set out to rescue the building from collapse. Ten years later, with support from the National Lottery Heritage Fund and others, the building has been sympathetically restored to its former glory and is now a vibrant multifunctional heritage and event space which is open to the public. In order to support our local community in Sudbury Parish and aligning parishes, particularly those in isolated and rural communities we have set up a programme of regular events which enables visitors to use the building as a warm space. |
