Councillor Peter Kelly, Cabinet Member for Culture and Leisure Services at Preston City Council said: “It’s a fantastic achievement to get to this stage of the Harris Your Place capital project. We’re thrilled to announce the completion of the construction site hoarding, which offers an updated insight into the exciting reopening plans for 2024 and the significant community empowerment guidelines we base decisions.
“Throughout the project, we’ve listened to feedback from the Preston community where many have suggested the remarkable Harris collection items are greatly missed during closure. The refreshed design presents an opportunity to revisit many of the treasured paintings and objects while we remain on track for achieving the ambition for Harris Your Place.
The mural commemorates the history of textile manufacturing in the Preston area, celebrating the journeys, long and short, that Courtaulds Ltd employees made, drawing attention to the diversity of the workforce that came together and continues to contribute to Preston’s rich textiles heritage.
“It gave us the opportunity to put our latest investment through its paces – the Platinum Q3 Hybrid Flatbed Printer is a game changing press that prints up to 200 sq/m per hour, up to 3.3m width rigid or flexible media, and at the highest achievable quality.“It was brilliant to be a part of the capital project and help to offer the public a great insight into how the Harris is being transformed. We look forward to visiting when back open in 2024.
