Few people today think of the south-east of England as the home of heavy industry and yet, not so long ago, the beautiful South Downs provided a natural abundance of materials from pits, mines and quarries. Valuable minerals such as fuller’s earth, sand, gravel, clay and chalk, all vital to the construction industry, were in plentiful supply. The site now occupied by the Museum was formerly the Amberley chalk pits and it is these quarries, kilns and associated buildings that form the backdrop to the Amberley story of industry and rural crafts that have shaped this part of Sussex.

From the 1840s to the 1960s, chalk was quarried and burnt in the kilns at Amberley to make lime for mortar, decorating and agricultural use. In 1876 John Pepper and his son, Thomas Cunningham Pepper, took over from several small producers in the area and by the turn of the century, they were the only producers on the site, which was ideally located to take advantage of road, railway and river transport. Over the years, Pepper and Son Ltd diversified into the manufacture and distribution of a variety of building materials and had depots in a number of Sussex towns until the closure of the business in the 1960s.



Amberley Museum arose from a concept created in the 1970s by a group of architects, surveyors, planners and museum professionals who felt there was a need for a centre in the south-east where industrial and social history could be conserved and interpreted in an active working environment. The site at Amberley came to their attention as a Victorian period time capsule of original buildings, kilns of various ages and a settlement that had been created by its industrial and transport facilities, a rarity in the south. The County Council was persuaded to buy the site at auction to ‘protect the local environment and landscape of the Sussex Downs’ and to stop inappropriate development. A Trust to promote the concept was formed in 1974 and became the Southern Industrial History Centre. By the spring of 1979, the site had been tidied, planning permission and a lease for 99 years secured and Amberley Museum opened to the public! Admission was 50p, there was precious little to see and there wasn’t even a tea room!

The 1980s saw some major acquisitions by the museum. These included a radio, television and telephone collection together with a 1930s automatic telephone exchange, which is still in operation today. Another major boost to the collection was the most complete operational interwar bus fleet to be preserved in the UK from the local Southdown company. This not only included vehicles but complete garages and workshop equipment and arrived in 1987.

Although a railway was not in the original plans, a notable collection of industrial railway equipment at Brockham found itself unable to continue on its existing site. Many items came from the south-east – from brickyards, sand quarries, chalk pits or factories. The railway was constructed from 1982-4 and Amberley now has one of the leading industrial narrow-gauge railways in the UK.

In the 1990s Amberley was becoming recognised as a major open-air museum and was approached by three major donors – the South Eastern Electricity Board who wished to rehouse their museum collection (including the curator); British Telecom who were diversifying their museum to regional locations and the Paviors Company who wished to sponsor a Museum of Roads. These became the Milne Electrical Collection, the BT Connected Earth display and the Paviors Museum of Roads and Roadmaking.

The Limeburners Café was constructed in 2002-4 and the previous home of the café in the Base became available for the ever-growing learning programme at the museum. A further grant from the National Lottery Heritage Fund resulted in the building of the Railway Exhibition Hall in 2004 and a further grant from NLHF enabled the consolidation of the de Witt limekilns, together with an exhibition called Life & Lime, which was opened in 2011.

In 2014, the West Sussex Wood Turners building was completed, allowing for more woodturning demonstrations and activity days for our visitors. 2015 saw the development of the Tools and Trades History Society’s workshop to include a Saw Doctor’s Workshop display. In 2016 the Bag Mender’s workshop (part of the original chalk pit buildings and a Scheduled Monument) was repaired, with a grant from Historic England, with additional funds from the Friends of the Museum.

In 2017, the Museum opened the Billingshurst signal box, which had been removed from its original site prior to the widening of an adjacent level crossing, brought to the Museum and re-built, retaining many of its original features including the 1876 lever frame.

A new engine shed “Burt’s Bunk” was opened in 2017, on the Standard Gauge tracks leading to the De Witt Kilns, to house our diesel locomotive, “Burt” (which is similar to the engine that worked at the chalk pits in the 1950s). In 2018/9 the Loco Shed and Smithy (again original chalk pit buildings and Scheduled Monuments) were repaired using a grant from Historic England, with additional funding from The Garfield Weston Foundation, The Coral Samuel Trust and The Friends of the Museum.

There have been almshouses in the United Kingdom for more than 1000 years, with the oldest almshouse charity foundation still in existence being the Hospital of St Oswald in Worcester founded in 990. Many are old, often beautiful historic buildings, others are more modern and some are newly built. What they all have in common is their provision of affordable housing and support for the needy or vulnerable, often older people and are usually managed by local trustees.

The Association traces its roots back to February 1946 when, at a meeting held in the Chapter House of Southwark Cathedral, representatives of London’s almshouses formed a committee to safeguard the interests of almshouse buildings and the welfare of residents.

In 1950, the committee extended its remit, and the National Association of Almshouses (The Almshouse Association) was born. The objects of the Association are to assist charity trustees to manage their resources effectively, to support them in providing good quality housing for those in need, to promote the welfare and independence of residents and to preserve the historic tradition of almshouses for future generations.

Today, The Almshouse Association is an essential component of the almshouse movement; we continue to provide support, information and guidance on a broad range of general and specific issues, to over 1600 independent almshouse member charities that provide homes for around 35,000 residents across the United Kingdom.

Over the years our services have extended to include guidance manuals, policy documents and model templates, training seminars, interest-free loans and funding, as well as providing a platform for members to advertise resident vacancies, discuss best practices and share knowledge at local meetings and via our members’ forum.

We meet regularly with the Charity Commission (the regulator for almshouses), Homes England, and have set up an All Party Parliamentary Group for Almshouses (APPG). As regulation and housing standards and expectations change, there is a need for almshouses to meet those changes by updating policies and procedures and modernising dwellings where possible and to ensure modern standards are provided in new buildings. The Almshouse Association is on hand to ensure our members are kept up to date with changes in legislation and give advice on all aspects of a building project.

Almshouses are managed by volunteer trustees and are often built in relatively small groups that become an enduring and important part of the fabric of their local community; local craftsmen and materials have traditionally been used. Trustees (or governors) of almshouse charities are usually people who want to become involved in their local almshouses in order to provide good quality accommodation for people in need in their area. Click here to find out more about Trusteeship

The Association has its own Board of Trustees, based in different areas of the UK with local knowledge that permits them to advise and assist charities in their given counties.

We produce a quarterly Almshouses Gazette which is sent to all our members. We endeavour to make the content informative and attractive – generally speaking 50% will be articles on current issues and 50% will be news stories sent in by our member charities.

Our members pay a subscription fee which covers around 50% of our annual running costs. For the remainder, to ensure we continue to provide all these services we fund-raise and seek sponsorship. 80% of almshouse charities are small, providing fewer than 20 dwellings and the volunteer trustees rely solely on weekly maintenance contributions from residents to remain viable. With voluntary support, as well as providing advice and guidance, The Association can assist almshouse charities by way of interest free loans to cover the cost of ongoing repairs as well as remodelling and modernisation. If you would like to donate or leave a legacy, your support and generosity would be gratefully received. Please click here for further information

The Trust’s vision is to be one of the UK’s most impactful grant giving charities. Our mission is to equip and empower Christian organisations to have a positive and transformative impact on lives and communities. We welcome applications from churches and Christian charities from all parts of the UK and Ireland, particularly from areas of deprivation.

We support the repair, restoration, protection and improvement of church buildings, cathedrals and other places of Christian worship, especially where those changes support wider community use. Our grants also equip Christian charities and churches to help the most vulnerable and tackle social issues, including homelessness, poverty, climate change and cultural cohesion; and we provide funding for projects that support church growth and leadership and share the Christian faith.

We also work with selected partners to preserve the UK and Ireland's rich history through funding to build and protect sustainable heritage skills (note that the heritage grants programme is not open to applications).

You can find out more about all of our grants programmes by hovering over the ‘what we fund’ header in the navigation bar, and on the how to apply page.

Albion Archaeology, previously known as the Bedfordshire County Archaeology Service, was established in 1972 and has been based at the historic, grade 1-listed church of St Mary's in the heart of Bedford since 1991. We have been trading commercially as Albion Archaeology since 1999. One of our key aims is to provide a first class service to our clients and stakeholders through an understanding of what is important to them. Now, more than 40 years since we were founded, we remain committed to putting professionalism and our customers at the heart of everything we do.

We offer professional heritage services from pre-planning assessment through to the construction phase. Operating as an arm's-length trading unit of Central Bedfordshire Council we provide our clients with independent advice and, with a staff base of around 50, we have the capacity to take on large scale and complex projects, yet remain small enough to ensure good communication and a client-focused approach. From our Bedford base we are ideally situated to cover a wide geographical area, and carry out archaeological work across the country.

Albion Archaeology was an early member of the Chartered Institute for Archaeologists registration scheme and has been accredited since 1997. We are also a member of the Federation of Archaeological Managers and Employers (FAME).

Our history

AECOM launched when a handful of employees from design and engineering companies shared a dream of creating an industry-leading firm dedicated to delivering a better world.

We became an independent company formed by the merger of five entities. While our official founding was in 1990, many of our predecessor firms had distinguished histories dating back more than 120 years.

Since then, more than 50 companies have joined us and, in 2007, we became a publicly traded company on the New York Stock Exchange.

Adventures in Preservation was founded in 2001 by two women with a great love of historic buildings and a strong desire to travel and understand the world. While perusing the travel section of the Boulder Bookstore, the Volunteer Vacation section suddenly brought everything into focus. Judith Broeker and Jamie Donahoe combined their goal of saving historic buildings with the concept of experiential travel, and created AiP’s hands-on preservation vacations.

Work started on several sites in the U.S., and as word spread, requests for help began to pour in from around the world, underscoring the great potential of using volunteers to restore historic buildings. In supporting community-based preservation initiatives, we discovered that our love of old buildings could translate into environmental and economic sustainability for communities.

Adventures in Preservation has become a leader in offering volunteer vacations directed toward saving distinctive architecture that defines a region’s history and culture. The fact that historic preservation is innately “green” provides yet another compelling reason for restoring historic buildings for integrated community use, from affordable housing to community centers.

Adventures in Preservation’s staff and volunteers work with passion to save the world’s architectural heritage with the goal of benefiting communities worldwide. We are dedicated to bringing people and preservation together in meaningful partnerships.

AiP Vision - AiP envisions a world where people use, understand, and appreciate historic buildings that are vital to economic and environmental sustainability and preserve cultural identity.

Adrian Cox Associates was formed in 1992 with the aim of being a centre of excellence for structural engineering design and conservation of historic buildings with civil engineering design in a building context. Success in building conservation was to be assisted by full involvement in new build work in order to benefit from the latest techniques such as advances in computer software. This is in contrast to some other specialists in this field who work only on historic buildings.

Adrian Cox and Nigel Sherratt were associates at Price and Myers, before Adrian Cox Associates was formed.

Since then the practice has worked on many award winning conservation projects including Watts Gallery, Knole House, St Mary's Church, Stone, St Peter's Church, Oare, and All Saints Westbere For the latter three projects, the architect received The King of Prussia's Gold Medal in 2004, and 2013.

Other successful projects include the Tate Gallery and Natural History Museum. ACA are appointed as designers for the Hintze Hall project involving suspension of a Blue Whale skeleton from the Victorian roof girders.

The practice has worked on a variety of successful new build projects including Eltham College and Harbour Ridge - a 9 storey, 36 apartment block with basement parking in Portsmouth. Contemporary design involving glass and timber has led to distinctive stairs and balustrades (Hertford), and jewellery and perfume outlets in Selfridges and Harrods, London.

We have built up a reputation for accurate diagnosis of structural defects, and a willingness to apply original solutions to problems where appropriate. Expertise in the use of the latest computer software - particularly in the conservation context is also a distinctive feature.

Support for your project from someone who actually understands the use of traditional building materials.

With more than half a million listed buildings and the recent trend in converting barns into domestic or office dwellings, the heritage property market is very buoyant in the UK. In fact, any building standing empty whether it’s an old mill, post office or even a disused train station has potential to a property developer and are snapped up for renovation regardless of its shape or practicalities.

Tuscan Foundry Products grown to become one of the UK’s leading manufacturers and suppliers of traditional cast iron rainwater drainage systems, traditional cast iron radiators and bespoke metal products. The company has a history of working with metal dating right back to 1893.

Being at the forefront of their industry, Tuscan Foundry Products continually updates the specification of its products to meet architectural needs. Although the products are largely specified for traditional buildings they also complement and add value to modern architecture.

Tuscan Foundry Products replicates traditional and unique guttering profiles for the replacement of failed sections of original rainwater systems. In total, Tuscan Foundry Products has 19 different profiles, 3 different pipe profiles and over 50 ornamental rainwater hopper heads. Original cast iron decorative features can also be restored back to their former glory by being shot blasted and repainted by the foundry.

Tuscan’s range of cast iron radiators are energy efficient as sectional columns meet with individual heat requirements. Cast iron radiators are supplied in units of up to ten sections (the length of the unit can be extended when installed). Each radiator comes complete with plugs, bushes and vents. An extensive range of solid brass, nickel or chrome radiator valves are available to suit both contemporary and traditional interiors.
