If funds permit, we'll also create a digital model of the building, so that you can continue to walk its halls.

As we look toward a new chapter, we need your help to preserve a lasting record of what has come before, one which we can share with the world.

For many, these walls are etched with the memories of all the Society has achieved since moving to Doughty Mews in 1968. To preserve a record of the premises before the redevelopment, we want to create a ‘digital time capsule’ to share with our supporters.
