New Beginnings Project
SGS: New Beginnings
2025 marks the start of ‘SGS: New Beginnings’, a multi-year project that aims to secure the Society’s future for the next century and beyond. The first phase of the project, funded by and Arts Council England MEND grant, will see the Society’s 1911 Museum on Broad Street repaired, refurbished and fully redisplayed for the first time in over a century. The Museum is expected to reopen in March 2027.
Meanwhile, we are embarking on a Development Grant funded by The National Lottery Heritage Fund to work toward an expansion of the museum on the former Leverton’s/Business Centre site in Broad Street. This expansion is intended to provide additional space and facilities to benefit members, visitors and the wider community in Spalding and the Fenland.
This page will serve as a hub for information for Society members, with documents, details of events, and notifications of ways to get involved in the process.
Expansion Design Report
This design report represents a concept for what an expansion on the Leverton’s/Business Centre site might look like. It is a concept design submitted as part of the application for our current Heritage Fund Development Grant, but is not a finished document or a concrete plan. It is a starting point for 18 months of development and consultation.
