Bow bay in need of home

A historic bay window is coming out of storage.

Ideas for a new home are required for this ancient relic.

Mr Grant from the Historical Society has informed me that he needs to find a new home for the bow window that has been in storage in Eastwood since it was removed from being in storage at the windmill approx four years ago.  The window is fairly large and was from a shop next to the old Chequers pub near to where the factory shop is now.  It is approx 200 years old but the glass is maybe 400 years old.  It was valued by Staceys at approx £1500 years ago.  The window will be difficult to move and ideally needs to be relocated to a permanent site and displayed.

 

If you have any ideas please let us know
