Background
In order to secure the funding to fully repair and maintain this historic listed building for the future, and prevent it's sake into private ownership, breaking the link that Bury has had as a garrison town since it's construction in 1868 and rebuild in 1906, and links back to medieval times as it was built on the site of Bury's Castle.
