TRANSFORMATION of the Cooper Gallery has begun with work to its extension now underway.
It will take about 30 weeks to complete the extension, which is at the rear of the building, and the new layout will greatly extend the space in the gallery.
It has all been made possible with a £638,000 grant from the Heritage Lottery Fund and the works will include the restoration of the original entrance to the building on Church Street.

We have been at the heart of our community, every week, since 1858. The town and its people have changed dramatically since then but the Chronicle has been a constant.
It’s our belief that news should be available to everyone regardless of their circumstance. But we need a little helping hand to do so.
Production Editor, Ashley Ball, said: "In an ever changing media world, it’s important that news is reported correctly and without any hidden agenda.
Your support allows us to keep holding decision-makers to account and report on everything that happens in the town, good or bad, fairly."
