The work is being funded through grants from Viridor Credits, Heritage Lottery, Action Oldham and Oldham Council. The contractors who are carrying out the work are Lichfield Construction Ltd
When open this new facility will be known as LYDIA'S TEAROOM In honour of Lydia Ernestine Becker, suffragette and scientist who lived for a time in Foxdenton Hall.

The new facility will house a cafe / meeting room and toilets open to the public.

This is an exciting venture. The opportunities it will present for the residents of Chadderton and beyond are endless.
