| 1988/6 | SBC Minutes / 15 June 1988 | Chichester to Midhurst railway / Mr Heymann reported that no decision had been taken by the Edward James Foundation on the future of the Chichester to Midhurst railway where it directly related to the Estate. |
| 1988/6 | SBC Minutes / 15 June 1988 | Possible new buildings - Newdigate Bakehouse / Chris Zeuner described the Newdigate Bakehouse which was currently being dismantled under the leadership of Heather Champion. During dismantling each brick would be numbered. The site was very well researched by the owners of the shop adjoining. The building was 19thC, brick and timber framed. It was hoped to set the bakery up as a working exhibit. Discussion on the reconstruction of the oven ensued. The Friends of the Museum (had) given sufficient funds to cover the cost of the removal of the building. |
| 1988/6 | SBC Minutes / 15 June 1988 | Petersfield Drying Shed / The Director reported on the funding of this building. Redlands Brick Company would be financing the exhibition, and the re-erection costs would be covered by sponsorship from another company with whom negotiations were in progress. As this building is therefore completely funded planning permission could be sought and work continue as soon as possible. The siting of the building - agreed at a previous meeting - was discussed, and it was AGREED it would be angled round to the west a little. |
| 1988/6 | SBC Minutes / 15 June 1988 | Progress on Bayleaf Complex / In the absence of Richard Harris, Chris Zeuner reported. Building work was going well on Cowfold and Redvins, the latter being nearly complete. The majority of material for the exhibition had been handed over to the designer. Two reports had been received to assist in the interpretation - one with regard to stocking of the farmstead from Mr Stephen Hall of Cambridge University. His recommendation was that surviving breeds should be used rather than trying to replicate breeds. The second report had been compiled by Victor Chinnery, an expert in oak furniture. The report included a "shopping list" of furnishing items for the principal rooms in Bayleaf. While Richard Harris found the report largely acceptable, he would want to see it supported by further research into relevant inventories. Chris Zeuner would like to see one upstairs room used as a "justification room". Each contribution to the complex would have an area where a formal exhibition could be mounted to expla \\ |

| 1988/6 | SBC Minutes / 15 June 1988 | Order of Priorities / During the year the Bayleaf Project would be completed, and the next priority should be the completion of the Reigate building and Winkhurst extension, which might take until 1990 or 1991. In the meantime, a list of priorities should be drawn up from what is in store. There were several unsolved problems facing the Museum, in the form of the entrance facilities, the temporary nature of the office building, and the refusal of planning consent for the temporary solution to the catering facility. In the case of the latter, the planners objected to the nature of the covering material. An enforcement order would not be served as the marquee would be taken down at the end of the year. The Director had written to register his surprise and disappointment at the planners' attitude, and he hoped it might be possible to get an extension for a further year. The Planners' attitude to the marquee could influence their views on the temporary consent for the office building. The Director felt \\ |
