Bircham Business
2020 is the year for some radical changes to The Bircham Centre in terms of building and repairs. The following have either been completed, are underway or are in planning:
-
Pudding Pie Alley Wall is now completely repaired and safe, including repointing and rebuilding. The wall contains the Bircham Centre vegetable garden and is an original structure and integral part of Pudding Pie Alley.
-
Bircham Centre Reading Room. This is the major piece of work being undertaken in 2020 and will make a significant difference to the downstairs space of the Centre. Originally, the Bircham Centre was gifted to the town as a reading room, and with this legacy in mind, the Trustees have repurposed the old kitchem to a Reading Room, using the fact that the floor needed replacing as a perfect excuse to complete the transformation. Late in 2020 the Reading Room will open, complete with shelving for all the books for sale, some comfy chairs and space for you to sit and read and enjoy the Centre as Samuel Bircham himself intended.
-
The Kitchen will be a small galley space beyond the door, for making drinks and snacks, and fitted out with clean, new units and facilities
