Roofing Our Future Appeal Donations
The Matthew Kirtley Building (MKB), the Main Exhibition Hall at the Midland RailwayButterley is in urgent need of roof and guttering repairs. In periods of heavy rain, water pours into the building and is causing massive damage to the building’s main structure and the vehicles it houses.
The building is currently closed to visitors and the unique collection of railway items & vehicles it houses is now suffering rapid deterioration, which will ultimately result in costly restoration if we don’t act now! Recent innovations in roof repair techniques have meant that it is now possible to implement cost effective repairs to roof and gutters. This in turn will allow the re-opening of the building and provide the protection the historically valuable collection needs. T
he Midland Railway Trust now needs to raise £40,000 to make this happen and we need your Help!
