The Burnley Express was given a behind-the-scenes peak at the largest restoration project ever undertaken on Burnley’s historic heritage gem Towneley Hall.

The art gallery and museum is home to some 30,000 historic artefacts which have had to be relocated due to the work, which was detailed yesterday in the Burnley Express.

Take a look around.
