Operating Theatre Reopening Soon?!

This has been quite a week and I end it much more upbeat than I began it!

The best news was that the building work at the Old Operating Theatre Museum seems to be coming to an end in about 5 weeks time - a little later than planned but much earlier than we feared.

Maybe too soon to celebrate it but it seems we have survived! Seems earlier May may be the date!

Much to do and I thought we had ages.

Now we have to find the money to keep the Crypt open and refurbish the Museum. We need to go to HLF immediately.

Central sub-region Camden Islington Kensington & Chelsea Lambeth Southwark Wandsworth Westminster North sub-region Barnet Enfield Haringey Waltham Forest East sub-region Barking & Dagenham Bexley Corporation of London Greenwich Hackney Havering Lewisham Newham Redbridge Tower Hamlets South sub-region Bromley Croydon Kingston Merton Richmond Sutton West sub-region Brent Ealing Harrow Hammersmith and Fulham Hillingdon Hounslow

If you want to read it here it is https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lincoln%27s_Inn_Fields#History I included a reference to the discovery of a fragment of a fudding cup.
