Heritage Open Days

Ever fancied seeing how an ordinary house can be made more sustainable? Ever fancied seeing what a solar thermal installation or a photovoltaic installation actually looks like? Maybe you've just had questions about how easy it is to get extra insulation into a house or where people get enough wood to keep their stoves going. A unique opportunity to nose around 3 fairly ordinary houses that have had various green living additions put into them will arise between the 9th and 12th september. As part of the Heritage Open Days initiative 62 Chapel Lands, 50 swansfield Park Road and 24 The Dunterns will be open at various times for people to see themselves how different technologies, installations and additions have reduced the householders carbon footprint and the cost of running their homes. No prior booking is required, but see here to find out which house you'd like to visit and for opening dates and times:
